Chickadee's First Adult Moult

 16 month old Chickadee started her first adult moult this month.
You can see a couple of loose feathers on her back.
Chickadee is still fat and fluffy whilst moulting!
 The 2 Happy Hens sit down for a rest.
Chickadee looks really big in this photo!
Nestle enjoys some sun in her dust bath near the fence.
Nestle drinks water from the pot plant saucer
whilst Chickadee strikes a pose for the camera.
Chickadee's breast feather coverage is a bit thin.
Chickadee stands in front of the A-frame coop with
the Dine-a-Chook feeding station in the background.
 Chickadee flew on top of the coop.
Nestle keeps on eye on her from ground level.

feathers shows off on top of the coop.
