My new rooster

400
These are my 8 new girls. Not the best picture, but Im wanted to share.
 
Another question, is there any particular reason why 2 of my new hens combs would be all wilty? Like when an orca is in captivity too long, their dorsel fin lists, I have some hens hose combs like this? Perhaps poor living conditions before moving home with me?


Some hen's combs do that. It's usually a Leghorn thing (and also other similar breeds, like Minorca), but sometimes you'll see it in other breeds. I have a Rhode Island Red and a Buff Orp who both have combs that flop over. I suspect it's because the hatcheries have bred Leghorn in to many of their other breeds to improve egg production.
