Oh Cynthia!! :D (pic heavy) Introducing......

[ChicknThief]

The Worlds Ugliest Little Chicken! Ladies and gentlemen, step right up and feast your eyes on the World Record Holder for Worlds Ugliest Chick!!!

Poor little baby. LOL. My goodness y'all weren't kidding when you said that Orps feather out slowly.

Introducing Valentine (or Samson, or Versace, or....)

And guess what!? I think he's a HE!!!!

 

[Cheekon]

Poor guy.

 

[Cuban Longtails]

Oh my... he's gorgeous!

I was thinking to myself, that sure does look like a boy.

 

[MissPrissy]

Look at those thick legs!

 

[wegotchickens]

Look at his eyes, though. He's embarrassed to be seen 'half-dressed.'

 

[Southern28Chick]

What a beautiful lil BOY you have there...or should I say handsome.

 

[Yogiman]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I have yet to have ever seen an ugly baby. This could well turn out to be the most beautiful bird that you have ever seen.

 

[banter]

She looks like a Muppet-I think she's cute! Gonzo?

 

[jeaucamom]

CT's Mom here!! Yes, we are well aware we have one rare very handsome guy!!! We just crack up when we see him next to the chicks half his age and they have more feathers than he does. And he is ALL leg!! But he truly is very striking in person, these pics don't do him justice.

Hehehe, you got yourself one very definite Splash Orp BOY! To make you feel better, here's his daddy, Suede, at four weeks. See? BALD! Then slightly older. Believe me, Jess, he'll be studly in no time.

BUT, by Seven Weeks, you'll have this:

Maybe it's the lighting, but those legs are an odd color! My splashes have had either very dark legs or white like the one in the pic. (Splash has no set color for legs-not in APA yet) Those are a little weird coming from Suede and his girls-never popped up like that before.
