If you look at the top of the wings, you can see the ones that are the most curly in the pictures. The ones on the top curl up, in one picture the mid wing feathers are barely curled down. The other wing feathers curl up a little, so they don't lay quite flat. I had one in my hatch from Deb, but I wasn't sure it was a frizzle so I sold it

. In pictures you could see that the wing feathers didn't lay flat, just the teeniest bit. In person, you sometimes could see it a little, and sometimes not so much. The lady I sold the chick to came back for more (nice lady, runs a duck and chicken rescue), and told me he was a frizzle, just like I told her he might be. Now I know what to look for when they are getting their wing feathers

wow busy thread today.

wheat germ i found in walmart flour isle and a place by me called barneys.

i chose wheat germ over outs because of the high protein and its folic acid and vitamin e properties.

oats might be cheaper but it didnt posses as high and im trying to get my girls egg vitality to go up since i have no chicks hatch ever from them.

its my science project but after a less than a week i was surprised to see 6eggs at once and the 7th the folowing morning within 12 hours.
hoping that the change is good and the vitality better

Thanks! I'm staying away from Cleopatra, because the last "Cleopatra" ended up being Frank Sinatra instead. That said, Frankie has a great home

When she came to look at him, she asked what his name was, and I hesitated and she thought I don't name my chickens. Then I explained - to my son he is Fuzzball ... not to be confused with "Fuzzy" (Mama Cass), then he was Cleopatra, and now we're on to Frank Sinatra.
