Well she definitely isn't white. She is splash I think. I am going to keep taking progress pictures to see how she changes for the future.

Thanks for the advice you guys! I decided to give her some poultry nutri drench because I think she may have a vitamin deficiency. It has lots of good stuff in it, including niacin, so we'll see how she does and if she starts gaining strength in her legs. Strangely enough, she's the biggest of the four. Nice and healthy besides her weak legs, go figure. If anyone was wondering, she was born on Halloween and her name is Voodoo

Edit: Slipped tendon in both legs it seems. One was very easy to fix and I've taped it in place and she's already using the leg better. The other is darn difficult. I can slip the tendon back in easy enough, but it doesn't want to stay there and I'm having trouble taping it and getting it to stay thanks to all the leg feathers. Do you think vet wrap would work better? I can easily get some tomorrow.

Vet wrap works great just don't get it to tight.

Well, little Voodoo is all wrapped and is in a sling complete with her own buffet bar. I'll probably redo the wrap every twelve hours or so to make sure it isn't too tight.

On a less cheerful note... I can't find Jack Frost anywhere =( I hope he turns up.

Did he turn up? I sure hope so.

I hope yours turns up. My one and only favorite buff im sure got eaten by the neighbors dog. I found it broke into the run and I found it ontop of my porcelain chick. I couldnt find my buff anywhere only 2 feathers:'(

Did he turn up? I sure hope so.

No he didn't =( My friend gave me her black rooster so I can keep breeding. He is gorgeous but can never replace my little quirky Jack.

I may have to do a side by side of her and one of the whites. The white ones are growing white wing feathers, she is growing gray ones, and her coloring is champagne not so much white. She came from a blue roo and a white or blue hen. So that's why I think she is splash.
