Her wings are OK but the feathers at the edges droop .. here's a pic that shows it pretty good..

It will be interesting to see if when she is older this goes away or not. I have a feeling that it might.

I'm interested in that, too. Maybe it will get sorted out when she molts. Also, I have a couple that have a bit of droop in their wing feathers as well, but it's much better than it was a few weeks ago; I think maybe they're growing into their wings more now. lol! Yours may be the same way.

Lets wait until she molts out and see what the end results would be before you decided to do something with her.

My children want to show her, but I convinced them shes rather to ugly for that. Ultimately shes a pet so looks don't matter. Eggs are a nice side effect but none are laying yet

If anyone here would care to help me ID the gender on this Spitz, I'd appreciate it. I'm going to a swap on Saturday, and trying to figure out who can stay and who will be coming with me.

Some one say Spitzhauben?

 

[chics in the sun]

Yep - this is the only Spitzhauben thread I could find.... is there another one somewhere?
I need to get a Barabanter, too.

My first reaction is "rooster" so it's probably a hen

I'm having trouble seeing a comb in the picture. The combs on my guys were obvious well before nine weeks.
