If you didn't see the post of this hen beginning to molt, check back two postings. Because this is her this morning, less than two days later. See that tail? No? That's because it isn't there. Just one feather left. And we're not done yet! The temperature will be in the low forties tonight. She'll be inside, but there's no heat, and oddly, this one has chosen to spend the night huddled next to an open window lately (covered with chicken wire.) She could also be in a protected, hay-insulated corner, so I guess I shouldn't feel too bad about her choice.
Just for fun, I took another shot of her to catch the deer in the background:
