The first 3 also look to possibly be partridge or grey, the second could be partridge or calico, and the last two, one looks to be possibly splash, being as it is so white, and the other has yellow skin????? Strange. If it is a mix this would not be shocking. How many toes does it have? It sort of looks albino if it is not a mix

Poo, four toes on the yellow skin one.

Now what is that?

Now what do I do with something like that!!!!!!

Keep it as a pet

How many of them have only 4 toes?

All the others have five toes. Just this yellow skin one has four toes.... I had to check all the others when I saw that this one only had four toes.

It was in the floor, under a bag of shavings. BUT...The trail of feather look like she was dragged thru a hole chewed in wall about the size of (I first said bagel, but it's looks more like half a bagel). She was on the other side of the henhouse- so it couldn't have been a raccoon grabbing her with his hand. I dunno. They are sleeping in cages until we get the new coop built.

Very sorry to hear about your sweet hen. Glad you found the hole and my bet is on a coon they are known to pull them through smaller holes then that.

I have Bantam, Silkies, Polish, Wyandotte, that are a month old and turkeys who are two weeks. Can I move them outside to a converted Little Tykes Cabin with a 250 watt heat lamp. Its been warm this weekend, but its supposed to be down in the 20's a couple of nights this week. I assume I might have to bring the turkeys in, but will the chickens be okay with the light? Pictures to follow it is the cutest thing ever. I have it up front by my house so I can monitor the light and control it by a light switch. ...and its far away from the barn and all the hay.
