    How horrible! They look so terrified and the one seems to be in shock, standing with wings out like that. You need to give electrolytes, heat lamp as they just have got to be extremely stressed out!

    Have you called authorities yet? Checked for shoe prints etc? This cannot be TOLERATED AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [​IMG]

    I had a HORRIBLE thought, what if they used CHEMICALS to de feather them? Best to give them a bath immediately! You must use really warm water and chemical free soap, please please do this.

    OMG- I did not think of that but NAIR

    maybe they used Nair to get off all the feathers. There are none at all. It is unbelievable. They look so sore. I will bath them immediately.

    Just because I wouldn't do it, does not mean someone else wouldn't. It could be photoshopped, borrowed from the Internet somewhere...whatever. And it is April 1.

    Just say it is not a joke if it is not, and don't take it personally. No offense was intended, but I did have to ask.

    "Featherless chickens" are a real thing. Google the term.
