It often is.

People pack eggs very poorly and then the package has to go through USPS Automation

I hope you get the mites under control!

ivermectin is terrifc for leg mites...you can google for does. i THINK 1/2 ml but might just be 1/4ml....you get the injectable and give orally....

Original thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/what-is-this-frankenchicken.1227064/

Someone suggested I post this here so let’s see how it goes.

I have a very interesting project roo (AKA Frankenchicken) available once he’s older to anyone who is:

A) willing to pick him up
B) willing to keep us all posted on what he grows up to look like...because he’s a trip and inquiring minds want to know

Background:
He’s either from my birds (BW Am roos over F3 EEs originating from hatchery stock) or from purchased EE eggs. The lady I got the eggs from is being a bit snappy when I ask questions because she thinks I’m blaming her for this crazy looking bird when I’m only curious. So let’s just assume we have no idea where this dude is from or what his origins are.

Description:
He’s almost 7 weeks old and towers over the other EEs in the hatch, is the weight of 6 same-age Polish and the obvious...he’s severely naked. Pea comb and green legs. Consensus is he has some sort of feathering gene defect however it has left him with the most adorable chicken mullet out there.

I need another chicken project like I need a hole in my head sooooooo if anyone has a soft spot for a chicken so fugly he’s actually adorable and you promise to keep BYC updated you can have him in 3 or so weeks.

Full disclosure: you might have to knit him a winter sweater
