Any feathers that are completely gone, shaft and all, should start to grow back immediately. If the feather is only broken, but the shaft is in place, it'll take longer; sometimes not until he molts.
He's a cutie and should grow into a very handsome roo. His comb is not quite right...

We have one Buff Orpington that come with our mix. She is my best buddy. She loves me to death. At least she acts like it to get extra treats. I would like to have a couple more of them. We call her Momma.
They do have great personalities. The first one is just so different. The kids named her Goldy. They like her alot. They can't tell the others apart as easy so they haven't named them.
Fred's Hens :
Cannot speak to the first couple photos. Yellow legs, white face, and too much gold on back of neck.
Some of the others, absolutely Black Star sex link. Black legs, gold on front of neck, green cast to back feathers, etc.

Since they came from Murray McMurray won't they have to be from the choices BR, Cuckoo Maran, or Dominiques? Or could they be mixed?
The small pullet in the 1st pictures is the only one that looks like that. The others don't have the long tail feathers and they have yellow legs.
I ordered the Rainbow mix from McM. I've got most of my girls and a few boys identified. I need some help with a few. I've got 6 barred rocks and 2 I thought were barred rocks but now I'm not sure.
This one is alot smaller and slender than the others. She also doesn't have yellow legs...

Probably right.
So far so good. The only issue I've had is with one of the Blackstars, she started eating the smaller chicks feathers. She was wearing them out. I trimmed her beak and she seemed to have forgot about the tasty feathers after a few days. She's doing great now. They...
