Is the fray a death sentance? Or is it just an undesirable trait?

I mean: can I just stick her in with my laying flock and use her as a conversation piece?

It is an undesirable trait but there shouldent be anything wrong with having it in the laying flock. Just make sure nothing hatches from it.

Here is a link to some research. Ignore that it says it is about goats. That is lower on the page. There is specific reference to the viability of birds with the fray gene.

I agree.

Kathy,

What kind of comb does the chick have? The head looks quote odd, similar to a Breda chick.

I dunno. What I do know is that this chick just is not growing. She is the same size she was 2 weeks ago. I don't know how she keeps on going.
