HAIRY chickens 😂 ..??? Buckeye Chickens

[BackyardChickenLady15]

I have three buckeye pullets - almost a year old. This is their first winter, and the weirdest thing is happening…they’re growing…hair?? Has anyone else had these random strands grow on their chickens?? I’ve never seen it before and I’m sure it’s not problematic long term - I’m just dying to know if anyone else has hairy chickens out there

Those are normal, they're like whiskers on a cat. Most chickens have them

Have you been inviting Wolverine to supper?


But seriously, my Florida chickens, many breeds, have never grown any hair.

usually they're flush with the rest of the fluff but occasionally they're long.

Yes I've seen those on my birds, sometimes they grow white like old lady hair.

Yes, I saw some hair on my girls just this weekend. Weirdest thing! I chalked it up to chicken weirdness and went on about my day...
