I found this site late one night, while in a frantic Google search, during the first week of chicken keeping. I was searching how to care for pasty butt. I followed the advice, and luckily that cleared up after the first week.

Here is one of our D'Uccles, named chicken nugget, when her feathers started coming in at 2 & 3 weeks old we were so thrilled and surprised she was a frizzle...Then, at 5 weeks we realized SHE was in fact, a HE!
