Funny growth on Silkies

[Minniechickmama]

Are mine the only Silkies that look like they have dandelion seeds growing out of their heads and necks?

OH, and for you sickos looking for freaky pictures of weird deformities on a chicken, ain't gonna find it here. I may be crazy but I am not a sicko.

OMG they do!!!! That is sooo funny!!!!

My silkie limps - for no apparent reason. And he looks like he has toilet paper stuck to his feet.

All those feather footed chicks look like they have toilet paper stuck on their feet, especially when they really do get a big shaving stuck there! This stage is just cracking me up, but the ugly award goes to my Birchen Cochin Bantam cockerel who is practically bare backed with just a few pin feathers although the rest of him is feathered out, including his head. I think he is going to turn out gorgeous, but this is that awkward stage where if he were a human boy would be the kid with the worst case of pimple face and blackheads in the class.
