Here's my little chicken 1 month after releasing all his tail feathers in a valiant attempt to escape the vet’s evil clutches. It’s amazing how he had a stub butt for a good 2-3 weeks, then POOF! Feathers all of a sudden! They are half the normal length currently but well on the way. The most sensitive week was the 2nd and third week when they were all just pin feathers and could potentially get damaged. I noticed some of his new tail feathers are a vibrant blue but with white tips. Some of his wing feathers have been this way but not the tail. I was worried that this was a sign of nutritional deficiency. From asking and reading around, it seems to be normal with some suns and could mean a bit of pied DNA. Any thoughts on this?
This is a few days after the Big Release:
1 week and a half later - he's not looking too hot here :
4 to 5 weeks later:
And here's a few more random pictures from the past couple of months:
The wild bird feeder is an early Hatch Day gift from Chris (Boomer turns 2 this Thursday!) . It's for the birds outside so Boomer can watch them from his cage when I'm out to work. He seems to think it's his toy though! Hope you enjoyed the photos and thanks for looking!
