Not sure if you can do a search in a specific thread... maybe try Kassaundra Rudy in the website search function? Theres a bunch of wonderful pictures of him.

Now I am very tempted to see.. I will see if I can find it, thank you!

I have several, they do just fine aside from needing some accommodations for winter. Kassaundra is in Oklahoma and her rooster went through the winter just fine but with modified clothes and a shelter with cuddle buddies. Much milder here so I was able to get away with an outfit much like a doggie clothes thing and an insulated box. Here's my baby from this spring- note the legs and toes, no scales at all: [/quote Kev, why were you hiding them from us?! Show them!
 
I think you will stop calling him ugly one in no time

I was only teasing. He is very cute in his own little unique way is all.

This is Precious, my very first scaleless chick (Feb 2014) She is the fuzziest one so far, the rest are very naked. I just love her head fuzz.

 
Kev, you finally came out of the closet!!!!!!!!

@SizzleQueen Your chick is beautiful I love that dark skin!!!!!!! Did you know you had scaleless gene in your flock??? Yes your little one can make it in VA w/ some accomodations. She will likely have to be brooded a little longer in the house. Her hatchmates will accept her fine. You might want to put a couple of feather dusters in your brooder tied together and suspended to act as a "broody mom" for her to snuggle in, it will help keep her a little warmer while she is young and adjusting. She will need clothes during winter a modified wool sweater works best I've found. Onsies modified make great cool spring and fall outfits. She will never be able to roost (or even want to) but if you have silkies you are used to that, the bunnies have been amazing for my Rudy but since you have silkies I bet that will work fine for "electric blankets" for her in the winter.

Oh and keep her w/ her hatchmates, don't send them out and keep her longer in the house, she does not have the ability to "reintergrate" into the flock, she would be seriously hurt or killed trying to. Their balance isn't great and they have no protection if the others pick a fight.

Rudy did awesome with his mates and then when I introduced the whole group in w/ the adults all was great they didn't harm him at all, it wasn't until our head roo figured out he was male that I had a problem and had to separate to save Rudy's life.

Kassaundra, you write so much better than I can. Agree all that information is accurate and helpful.

I had spoiled my naked chicks by keeping them separate with their own accommodations etc. I realize that has been a mistake, especially as winter came. Would have been nice if they had feathered cuddle buddies to keep a little warmer during the colder nights.
 
Ugh! My NN pullets are being terrorized by the cockerels. I had to put one of my girls in isolation after a very "frisky" cockerel slashed open the back of her neck twice. I'm really wishing I had a place to keep the boys while their hormones are raging because this is getting out of hand.
