Big Foot and her Friend- 15 weeks

Little babies-9 weeks
Cockerels

Pullets, if all the pullets get vulture hocks I’ll keep all of them.
This little pullet a some really janky feet. She walks just fine, I’ll keep her but definitely not for breeding. I’ll probably name her Janky.

Poor Janky, her joints look swollen like she's got arthritis or some sort of gout or something.

Just googled.. and it does look like gout. Here is a post that might help..

Yeah! I think it weird how the ones that hatched out with dots on their heads look like a different kind of “mottling”.

She doesn’t seem bothered by it she runs around any acts just fine. Thanks! I’ll check it out!

Babies- 10 weeks

This little cockerel I’ll most likely sell, he’s already fretting the Columbian color on his chest and his muffs/beard aren’t that wonderful.

I’ll keep this pullet, she got ok feathered feet, iffy mottling, leakage and miffs/beard. I wish her eyes were more orange/red.

I’ll probably sell this cockerel too. He has everything desirable but I’ve noticed on my older project birds that I’m try to sell, if they had leakage at a youngish age they end up having to much leakage and the Columbian color on their chest.

Here is miss Janky, she’s doing good.

After looking and ready about gout I don’t think she has that. I think she was born with it. I know there was a chicks that had kind of cricked feet and I thought they’d straighten out so I didn’t think any ring of it.

This is one I might keep, only if he has good leakage like his older brother that hatched in June or July. And if he has better muffs.

I love his pullets muffs/beard and feathered feet. She’s got ok mottling and I like that she has leakage.
