You have a black mottled frizzle, some calico smooth feathered ones and I'm not sure what the 2nd frizzle is considered.

Embryo is the...
Aww poor Will. I was rooting for him.
I have a stargazing hen. She's different, but thriving! Of course there are a multitude of severity. Odd about the bare back on that one too! Almost looks red and irritated.
