Got some pictures of my baby girl. How is she growing up?








Also, I have a question about her feet.Her outer toe on each side is VERY short pretty much just a nub, is this normal or a flaw?

Her crest is a bit lacking, and I can't see her feet feathers or wings but other than that she looks good. About the toe, that is a flaw. I would suggest not breeding her as it could be genetic.

Quote: Type is basically body shape. For example, RIR type is brick-shaped, cochins are a large volleyball or beachball (depending on whether you're talking bantam or largefowl), silkies can be thought of as sort of S-shaped, or as three balls: the largest being the body, next is the tail and the smallest is the head/crest/beard. Games tend to be heart shaped.

Thanks for the complements on my buff and blue hens.
I'm also wondering what you think of my black pullet?
Her crest was trimmed in this picture.
