Winter Molting and Warm Decembers

The bad cold snap has now passed, and she seems done molting, so I decided to put her back outside today. She was psyched.

(Reminder: Regular Too Many Chickens! installments will be back after the first of the year, when Garden Guys Green Revolution Radio returns from holiday hiatus.)
