LOL! No you didn't :-D one of my buff orphingtons was all scraggy looking feathers all sticking out to be honest I thought he was sick and he was the last to shed his chick down well he quickly turned that around and became the biggest and the most beautiful rooster of 4.
I got some pictures not good ones since she runs from me and one of my BO was trying to model for me so I got what I could and I will post them when I get to work so I can use the wifi
