    Frazzle Chicken??

    I bought this chicken about a year ago as a young chick, the person I bought it from said it was a frizzle. As it got bigger I could tell that it didn't have a lot of feathers and the ones it did have were really curly. I had read about frazzles online and I'm pretty sure that is what she is. I...

    Barred rock chicks 3-4 wks? Pullets or roosters??

    I bought these two barred rock chicks about two weeks ago and they looked to be about 2 weeks or so at the time. The chick in the front has always been a little bigger so I'm guessing it is older than the other one in the back (the small chick is a cochin). They both look pretty dark to me, the...
