Autumn is having the worse moult we can remember. She looks very tatty, is still dropping feathers and is a mass of pins.
It’s been a few days since I stopped spraying Autumn’s legs and feet. So far she has left them alone and they look good. I really hope we have come to the end of this. Although she looks a mess she is back to normal in herself. She is eating and is looking happier. I look forward to seeing her all feathered up again.

Bless her – the moult is certainly ravaging her but, as you say, a real improvement in her legs.
I can’t remember when I have seen such an awful moult but she seems okay with it which is the main thing and the improvement in her legs is really helping.
Her legs look good, Hope this is the end of it. Good she is back eating well again. She will soon be her lovely self again, when her malt is over.. Cold time to have such a malt.
It is an unfortunate time of year to moult but she is full of pins so should soon be feathered up again.
