It seems to have taken forever for Butterscotch to get her head and neck feathers in but at last her pins are opening. I took a set of photos a few days ago to demonstrate this but I had other posts tumbling out and didn’t get the post written straight away.
Butterscotch’s head feathers are coming in at last
The side of her head has longer pins
The other side of her head
The top of her head
The gap is disappearing
Today I could see another change in just the few days since I had taken these photos. Her head is now flecked with orange instead of just white pins on grey skin.
Butterscotch today
Her head is almost covered
The other side of her head
I think she will soon be fully covered in feathers without any gaps. Whether her crest comes back this year remains to be seen but I am pleased that she will no longer have a bare head. She is looking much better than I had thought she would at one point.
I look forward to taking more photos when her feathers are completely grown back.

I am so pleased Buterscotch is getting her feathers back on her head, Is that fluffy look that makes her look so cute.
I am really pleased too. I thought for a while she would be stuck with some bare patches but I now think there will be enough feathers to make her fluffy again.
Looking good – but she is still beautiful, even with some gaps.
She is certainly looking better every day which is very pleasing.
