Molting has my favorite feathered friend looking like one grouchy Butterball
Poor Butterball. Molting season is rough, and my favorite feathered friend is making it known with one seriously grouchy glare. I managed to snag a few decent photos of her despite the attitude, but she's looking like a real life Butterball turkey right now, all puffed up and none too pleased about it. It's a cluck-tastic reminder that even our prettiest hens go through an ugly phase. The whole ordeal has me feeling nostalgic, too. I still miss Butterbaby something fierce.
