Oh they are just beautiful Mrs. Beth. As a matter of fact I packed one of boys "Rusty" to the house today to show him and me off to my sis and her kids and mom. They all just love these orange chickens.
I took pics yesterday of my ones too as soon as I get them edited prolly tomorrow I shall post them on here and the other thread Mrs. Kathy has going on.
On the wry tail I agree with gjensen on its just something that's gonna pop up from time to time in these guys/gals as we can't expect all of them to be perfect but just almost
. I had one of my 3 boys that was wry tailed and of course he had the more yellow feet out of the bunch but I culled him as the wry tail is something undesired and the yellow in the feet can be improved, the lesser of the 2 evils I guess is how to put it.

Thanks, he is my favorite and the one I plan on using at this point - there is another very similar to him, and I am going to try to keep them both for a while and see what happens.
The other two are good, but there is just something about that guy, we named him Charlie.

Shocking, isn't it? Somebody has been getting around! Have your girls started laying? I have at least one girl laying, maybe two - I have collected three eggs on three different days, one was rounder than the other two.

That's good that yours are coming into production esp right now that means they will lay some thru the winter and won't have to wiat till early spring to start up.
