So much fluff!

Quote: It looks to be a smaller tail, therefore it needs a smaller crest. Remember the standard calls for a moderate crest. And you are right, looks to be a young bird.

Quote: That is always the trick. I'd probably suggest a wide (mdical) paper tape. Place in proper position and then tape all the way around the wing so that it cannot be spread. You might have to retape every day or two. You could try using vet wrap, but in my experience it just slides off with this type of use.

White. They grayish color is the skin. Come of the feathers are still stuck together so it looks like the skin is a color of the down.

After neurological trauma that caused wry neck in my boy, he is almost back to normal! (He got caught in an electric fence.) Minus the fact that I trimmed around his eyes so that he would see better and actually begin walking again. Here he is with his girl, a few days over 6 months. The same breeder as three chicks available, but I want to get some opinion on these guys first. I will try to get some more pictures soon. Thanks!

Ah ok. Does not look like any white chick I have seen. Must be my monitor.
