There are still a couple really confusing me.
Possible Roo #2
Most days I don't see saddle feathers, others I do. They are rounded and a little long but nothing like my other roosters that are very skinny. (~12 weeks)

All pictures are from the same day, within 30 mins. The picture above was at most 10 mins before first one, bird cooled down and color changed.

This one was from a week or so ago. They look very pointy here.

This one's wings have been like this for awhile. Not sure if it is a weird stage or an issue.

Always judging me. About 12 week old.

This poor baby is Pin Pin. I didn't realize her leg is messed up because she is often laying down. I thought she was just a really chill bird. Tail feathers are flipped, limp, unsure what's going on, but the wonderful BYC folks gave me some ideas. (Pictured above sleeping on the low side of the pallet.) She can jump up to roost but she lays on her side so I don't think she feelings stable on the roost bars.

I love her coloring and super bummed she isn't healthy.
I will continue to watch her, if any signs of distress/pain... I will not let her suffer.

But for now, she moves around and seems to be doing well. No one picks on her, many of the other littles snuggle with her. The day in the top picture, my MIL's goose was chilling by her. (Goose moved into chicken coop, the ducks are jerks - I don't blame her!)

Random pictures around 12 weeks old.

A bunch of the littles trying to stay cool on a hot day... By snuggling!?

Hot bird!
