I had only just finished my post on Amber losing her tail when I went back into the girls and found several more banty tail feathers. I then saw that Honey has only one remaining tail feather. The feathers are coming out so fast!
Honey with only one remaining tail feather
These little girls are losing feathers right in front of me and changing their looks in an instant!

Don’t you just want to pluck it out?
No need. I went back at lunch time and the first thing I saw was a long, dark, banty feather. I then looked for Honey and saw that she had no tail at all. Her tail is now even shorter and scruffier than Ambers. I took some more photos but thought that as I have already put out two posts today, I will put it out tomorrow. I can’t believe how quickly she has gone from having a tail, to the last tail feather, then to no tail. It’s odd how it just all fell out within half a day.
