“Immersing in boiling water helps in the plucking process ... was his scalding reply “
You seem to “bubbling over” with poetic emotion!?
I had a chicken that molted so severely that she was practically naked. It was getting kind of cold and so I brought her inside for a few weeks while her new feathers grew in. She spent nights in a cat cage in the utility room, and I let her out into the backyard during the days.
She would come to the back door at night to be let in, and each morning, she laid an egg on the door mat. She was such a friendly chicken that I actually thought about letting her stay as a house pet.
