Sweetest nature too and none of the fully feathered birds find her in the least bit odd.

I'm sure she's just as pretty really I must try to get a decent pic of your boy today - he doesn't like standing still for the camera, bless his awkward little claws... Stumpy is the one with the dodgy feathers - what you can't see from the pics is that her primaries are all twisted and clubbed - hence the name The other two pullets are outside with the broody so I haven't been able to look at them properly, but they appear to have pretty decent feathering (well, as decent as they get with this hatch ). I was talking to Skyegirl on the phone about it the other day (she occasionally has TNNs as well) and she thinks that when they moult, there's a reasonable chance of decent feathers coming through, so we shall see... I must look into getting my LF whites soon, it'll be worth a go just to see how they hatch Back to top Fenn Joined: 16 Jun 2005 Posts: 2292 Location: Shrewsbury Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 3:56 pm    Post subject: This is the lucky boy who will be going to live with Henwife - Just look at his fabulous little bib He's a very handsome chap Back to top Henwife Joined: 31 Jan 2006 Posts: 3222 Location: Monmouthshire Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 8:50 pm    Post subject: Mine has rather a bosom of feathers which shouldn't be there and Ma being brown, there are brown 'highlights', but she's gradually taming. The two baby pekins she's sharing her isolation with are tucked up on the perch with her now instead of huddling in their own corner. Even daughter can't extract the photos that we moved, so I'll have to start again. I love his pirate mask!

Might be worth dropping them an e-mail to check them out.
