I wanted to post some pictures but I can't find the cable for my camera so you'll have to use your imagination....
I have a 5 week old Chantecler that looks like it was beat with the ugly stick. She has a crossed beak and seems to be forever stuck in that in-between fuzz and feather stage. She seems to be eating just fine and has plenty of spunk but she really looks rough. Her feathers have come in quite patchy... the tops of her wings are just pink skin and her neck has just a few sad looking feathers. I've never had a white chicken before so maybe this is normal... maybe it just looks bad because her skin is so light... but I have another Chantecler that is only a 2-3 weeks older and looks a heck of a lot better. Whaddya think? Is she seriously messed up? or just ugly?
I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.
