They are gorgeous. They are much darker in color than my hatchery one.

Thank you. The porcelain boys have been a goofy little trouble making trio. I adore them, so it's sad to see them getting old. You can definitely see the lose of comb points from frostbite, and I have to keep an eye out for them daily to make sure they are doing okay with their vision loss. They still are feisty, sometimes.

Hazel is 10 weeks old and has some spots on her body. When will she get spots on her wings? I think a little more are developing each day but it's hard to tell.

The spots come in slowly, though I haven't seen them so unspotted. She's still very adorable. Every molt they will get in a few more white spots, so she should get there.

She is a sweetheart. When she flaps her wings I see lots of spots on her body but only a few at the base of her tail show all the time.

My MFD at 7 weeks is quite un-spotted as well. I am glad to hear they get more w each molt....

Makes me wonder if I'm having a senior moment. Maybe they are all so unspotted at that age, geez, it's been a few years since I raised some. Mine are all adults.
