It won't take long, a couple weeks at most. He'll be ok. My chickens pile up together on the floor in the winter, to share body heat.

Thank you I was just worried for him. He’s kinda an out cast....sticks to himself. But I’ve noticed in the mornings he huddles on the floor in the straw we have down. That’s what started me to wonder about his fuzzy self

He’s adorable

Thank you he’s quite the character he belongs to my son. This was him at 2.5 mo the day we got him. My son was super excited...he really was but he hates pictures lol

I think she looks like a he...uh oh not 100% sometimes it’s hard to tell I’m having trouble sexing my 7week olds. But he/she is adorable! The feathers r just that....feathered feet hahaha those feathered feet are just adorable aren’t they?!?! These 2 didn’t make it through a predator attack however at 4 weeks they were definate boys...notice the 3 rows of bumps on the combs? Edited to add someone posted a pic of a cockerel and a pullet side by side and the difference is a definate tell!

Those are called vulture hocks and are very undesirable in brahmas.

Curious minds would like to know how to tell the difference? Like what’s a vulture hawk

Vulture hocks refers to long, stiff feathers that grow out of a chicken's thigh (or hock). Sultan is a breed that has vulture hocks.
