I have 18 chickens, one kitten, 3 dogs, 2 hermit crabs, and live on 20 acres in the country. I am CrAzY about chickens and plan on getting more! I am continually working to better my chicken practices and to better my flocks.

I'm pretty sure those three pictures aren't even the same bird.

 

The first is just a normal chicken.

The second is a frazzle or a chicken going through a hard molt.

The third is that picture floating around of the featherless chicken developed for meat in hot areas.

 

ETA: These three pictures can all be pulled off the internet.

Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton agreed on little publicly, but they did agree that when the public treasury becomes a public trough and the voters recognize that, they will send to government only those who promise them a bigger piece of the pie
