I feel your pain!

Out of my four BW roosters the one with the best color has a wry tail! They are four months old. Then I picked another one to keep and he developed a spikey comb!

One of the others had a curled toe and the one that has no body faults has very yellow hackle feathers! Sheesh!

If it's just one, keep it!!!!

Lots of whites have flecks of black in their feathers or one black feather.

I got some w and bw chicks from a friend who purchased an order from one of the other breeders that has been mentioned on here alot lately and one of them had stubs on it's legs. I got rid of them all.......

So, look at your birds legs everyone!!!!

Question for the Ameraucana people!

I hatched 3 chicks from eggs I had shipped to me, 1 blue, one light blue or splash, and 1 definite splash. The definite splash is the only one with muffs! Do they grow the muffs later in some individuals? I have always noticed the puffy cheeks right away in the purebreds but I am pretty inexperienced. Are these possibly bad quality Ameraucanas or will the muffs come with time?

Are they talking about spurs?

They should have muffs when they hatch. If they are muffless then I doubt they will get any muffs.

Sometimes they go through a "fugly" stage where they look like they don't have a beard and muff. But if they had them as chicks, they should have them as adults.

Stubs are feathers on the legs.

They are talking about feather stubs.
