I’ve read about “patchwork” patterns and red feathers, can you post a few pictures of examples? And is this evident as soon as juvenile feathering replaces down, or “teenage”/adult feathering...

    Two salmon faverolles sold as pullets at Tractor Supply. Hatched out 4 July. We’ve named them Liberty and Independence…Libby and Indy😁 Chick A is smaller, chick B is larger.

    Purina Flock Raiser Pellets Ingredients

    Could anyone who is using Purina Flock Raiser Pellets post a picture of the ingredients? I know that they may vary from location to location, mill to mill. No local (within 150+ miles) feed store carries it so I’d need to special order. Don’t want to do that without even a finger to the wind...

    Sigh…lovely day outside today, thought I’d try to take some nice pics of our 9 week old dark brahmas.
