ISA Brown Tail Feather question

[jgirl922]

Hello! I have two isa brown chickens about 12 1/2 weeks old. One has beautiful tail feathers and the other not so much. Pictures of each below. Just want to be sure everything is okay. Eating and drinking and cheeping about just like the other girls.

Her sister!

You're girls look fine. ISA Browns are hybirds, originally bred by crossing RIRs and RIWs. Later some White Leghorn blood was added as well as a couple of other breeds, so some variation in their appearance is normal.

Thank you so much! I'm a chicken newbie. I have two white legions and two black sex links as well. They physically look the same as each other although coloring might be a little different. That's why I was wondering!

Those two chickens are definitely not White Leghorns or Black Sex Links.

Ha! No. Those are the browns. I have six total. Two isa browns, two white leghorns and two black sex links. What I was trying to say was each sex link is feathered like the other (colored different but feathered the same) and so are the white leghorns. But the feathers are different in the browns so I was wondering if every thing was okay.

Got it! And, yes, everything is fine! )

Nice looking flock.

I especially like the Black Sex Links. I've had many of them and for exceptional laying and great personality they have been my best birds.
