It’s only two weeks since I visited Jackie’s girls when they were in a sorry state of moulting. Jackie e-mailed me to let me know how quickly they were getting their feathers back and invited me to visit and see for myself.
Today I went to see the girls armed with my camera.
Jackie’s girls today
They look so good compared to only two weeks ago.
Blossom
Blossom has her little crest back.
Clover
Clover looks totally different to two weeks ago with most of her feathers back in.
All looking good
They all have fluffy bottoms.
Blossom is almost back to her former glory
Okay, so she is still a little tatty, but she is getting there.
Her neck is no longer bare
It’s the first time Blossom has had neck feathers since the early days when she was part of my flock. She hasn’t had neck feathers for two years until now. I am so very glad that Jackie adopted her and that she has settled in so well with Jackie’s flock.
It’s so lovely that I can visit her, that Jackie loves her and that she is happy and flourishing in Jackie’s care. I know it won’t be long now before she looks really pristine again and I will be back with my camera to update.

What a beautiful little flock, they no longer look as if they are neglected. . Clover had hardly any feathers two weeks ago.. No neck feathers , no fluffy bottom and her wings were bare, and now she looks stunning .
I can’t believe how quickly she recovered for an old girl.
I too was amazed how quickly Clover has transformed. Some of my girls seem to be taking forever. Clover has come through the moult at speed as have my Emerald and Toffee. Topaz pretty quick too but Honey and especially Amber have taken forever and of course Sparkle is right in the middle being the last one to moult. Peaches and Barley are just coming into their prime. It’s a wonderful thing to see our flocks returning to their beautiful best.
YEA, they look so good. And don’t you just love how those new feathers look? Soooo pretty.
They do look good. Clover’s black feathers are really glossy and Blossom has some new smaller speckles on some of her new feathers on her back. They all have fluffy bottoms. They have feathered up so quickly.
