    Chick was in the wrong bin, light feathers on legs/straight comb-new pics

    Well, I will never know what it was now. Something got into our chicken pen this afternoon. The fence wasn't very strong there, but it had pulled away from the post at the top of the fence. A mostly white Amberlink Roo and this big chick were missing. A sex link went missing yesterday. Since...

    I am still not sure about this one. No change in feathering on feet. What color would I call the base color? Red? It is almost the same shade as my sex links, and definitely more red than my buff Orphingtons. It is still the easiest to catch, and has a mild temperament compared to everyone else.

    More pictures of the unknown chicken. This bird is way outsizing the other members of the flock, aside from maybe the turkey, who is catching up weight-wise (though the turkey is still smaller, because it is more compact). But this one is still the biggest chicken, and the easiest to catch and...

    If this was a Cochin, would the feathers actually be growing off the toes or just the legs? I never did take a close look at my Cochin bantam rooster's feet when I had them (over ten years ago). This chick has feathers so far just on its legs, and no one appears to be messing with its legs...

    The sun, and the chick, were cooperative today. So I got some pictures. There is no challenge to catching this chick. Seriously, it's always the one right up against the side of the cage, closest to wherever the people are. I just have to reach in with one hand to pick it up.

    Chick was in the wrong bin, light feathers on legs/straight comb-new pics

    Well, I'll take whatever sex it is, just because it is a friendly bird. I've had little blue bantam roosters take over chicks when their mother died, so I know that I just cannot tell sex yet based on its mothering behavior towards the baby guineas. Do Cochins normally develop foot/leg...

    Chick was in the wrong bin, light feathers on legs/straight comb-new pics

    I bought some chicks back on March 27th, looking to add some Easter Eggers to my new flock (had bought week-old Red Sex Links, Buff Orphingtons, and Black Australorps a couple days before). I got six of them, and once I got them home, I noticed one didn't have the puffy cheeks like the others...
