OMG!! I feel so awful becuz I am laughing SO hard!lau I feel terrible (and have sympathy shivers for the poor darlings!), but wow, never knew some chickens went through so much!!


It's ok to laugh IMO i see funny ones every day here.
some of mine get really red like this roo, it's not sunburn like some peeps think it is their skin getting ready for the new feathers.
this little roo is a good example of red threw and threw.

And you can’t really begin to appreciate happiness until you’ve known sadness. Once you’ve walked through the valley, the view from the mountaintop is breathtaking"

Ok that's bad


Agreed!


I also agree.  I feel so sorry for her.  Knowing me, I'd put a dress on her.

btw - do they risk getting a sun burn?

This is an annual thing, is it not?  When do we get to all vote for the pathetic looking frizzle. She IS the obvious winner, I believe. lol
hugs to all those sad looking birds.  I thought I had some bad ones until looking here today.
