On the farm.

On the farm,* Rue is molting (You can spell it "moulting" if you want to - also correct - proceed.) and she looks terrible. Worse, actually, than she does in this picture - she now has zero tail feathers and a few bald patches. But I didn't want to traumatize her by trying to take another picture. She's very irritable and sensitive and the other girls are not very kind, even though I've tried to explain that this could happen to them and probably will.
* It's not a real farm. A real farmer would never have to Google "chicken feathers falling out plus super grumpy what's wrong."
