Is it just me? Man these are some ugly babies...

Here is a pics of my 5 week old Buffs and Columbian's.

Is it me.... or.... are Columbian's just ugly babies?
I also have RIR's, NH's, BR's and Black Stars all a little older than these birds and none of them ever looked like these do now.

The columbians just have to make prettier feathers so it takes longer LOL!

they are the oogly beautiful! Mine are going through that stage and man, only I could love them, they are all black (eventually one will have silver lacing and the other gold lacing) but right now - ooogly, and some dandruff that shows up really good on the black....they know how they look and are sad about it too

they will feather out and are cute

I will say the Colombian on the left back looks a bit like a Turkey Vulture.

I find that all three Columbian's have longer necks than the three Buffs do. I do like the way they will look in a few months!!

I want you all to know that it takes a real man to talk about how cute his chicks are!!! LOL!!!

LOL All right, you win -- they ARE ugly. But give them a few weeks (months) and they will be spectacular!!
