For the new readers.
CHICK LEG FLUFF
Text of the drawing for translation purposes:
Several ‘new fusion’ breeds happen to be born with a bit of fluff or feather stubs on the legs and/or toes…
… when the chick grows older, leg fluff goes away, so nothing to worry about…
… This chick is a Yamato Gunkei, also Barnevelders, Wyandottes and New Hampshires can be born with a bit of leg fluff…
… There are a few ‘stub’ or ‘fluff’ genes which only manifest in or on chicks.

More on fluff and leg feather genes in genetics of chicken extremes, all other genes in chickens discussed and illustrated: https://www.chickencolours.com/index.php/genetics-of-chicken-extremes-book
Or together with the Colours book: https://www.chickencolours.com/index.php/book-combinations
Karen Johns took razor-sharp & interesting photos of this on her Thai Game chicks.

These rare little beauties are Ayam Cemani's. They originate from Indonesia and are known as the most expensive bird in the world. They truly are rare gems with black feathers, black skin and even their organs and bones are black. They are held in high regard in Indonesia and are still seen as a status symbol in some cultures. Due to their magical appearance they were thought to have magical powers. This is a very interesting breed to add to a flock.

Contact to meet them!

With the weather being so warm we need to keep parasites and worms away from our feathered friends.
A splash of Apple Cider vinegar in their water everyday helps to do just that!
For an added benefit you can sprinkle some cayenne pepper and garlic powder into the same waterer
as well.
Fresh crushed garlic works even better!
