Feather-geddon

Admit it, you didn't believe me yesterday. You thought 'Oh, that Madchickenlady. She exagerrates. No way could six little chickens blanket an entire lawn'. Well, prepare to have your flabber well and truly gasted. Maude is the only one in full moult right now, but the others are all on the slide. This is my garden.


Maude, with her rapidly disappearing arse, attempting to look nonchalant.



Surveying the carnage. The entire lawn is in the same condition. And don't even get me started on the border.



A good portion of Maude's arse can be found in the coop.



And I'm guessing she sat here at some point.



Gladys is now sporting a short spikey do on her bonce, but is still amusingly bald in places.



She is not impressed. Oh, and that big white cloud in front of her?



Hilda is broody again. Sigh. I'm hoping that she'll bump out of it once her own bum falls off.



This was a pic of Maeve, but Vera has a real love of the camera. She sees me coming and flings herself at the lens.



Our beloved ASBO Chicken, looking fine.



Mabel is also moulting, but in a more sedate manner than Maude. She looks a bit moth eaten, bless 'er.



This was supposed to be a picture of Winnie. But you can't see her because Vera has once again ninja'd in to the frame. Gawd that chicken makes me laugh.

I wonder if the estate agent can airbrush feathers out of the photographs....

  3. I love the photo of Gladys under what I gleefully assumed to be a duvet but turns out instead to be a Hilda!
