Murphy's feathers

The geese, ducks and turkeys all molt, or lose their feathers, this time of year. The old feathers drop and cover our lawn as the birds' new feathers emerge.
Even proud Murphy loses his feathers. He is down to 2 tail feathers, but he is still trying to show off and strut for us. His new set of feathers should be in and grown in about a month. The chickens wait until the weather turns to fall (when it gets cold!) to molt their feathers.
