Was gonna use Scaredy for the white, but grabbed the cockerel instead. Just needed a white.

I don't either. Just wanted to know what you thought about the comparison.

They both look about the same color to me.

That could mean my screen is not showing the image accurately. Or it could mean they are both actually white. Or it could mean that khaki looks very similar to white, and I haven't learned to recognize the differences. I really don't know which it is, but I'm not in the mood to do research on khaki or mess with my screen right now, so I'll just leave it for other people to think & talk about.

He's grayish toned. Could be your screen. Mine shows the obvious differences.

It's fine. Hopefully other's can notice.

He looks off white to me. But it's very subtle. Like very very subtle.

Oh like egg shell white and artic white paint.

I could do another attempt Saturday. Storms tomorrow, & Friday.

One looks like a cool white (blue) vs a warm white (yellow)
Very interesting

The pullet is improving more, her feet are functional, but now I gotta restore her balance. She's like top heavy, & falls forward.

 

[MysteryChicken]

Did a redo, on the Khaki Vs. White.(The black at the head of 007's tail is just some skin showing.) Debating whether, or not he'd benefit from a hen saddle.

Used a Brahma for the white, this time, though it's due to Silver Columbian.

Okay, I had my diagnosis wrong with my pullet. It's Curled Toe paralysis, also known as Riboflavin Deficiency. Will be ordering 400mg, Riboflavin capsules.

Legs are completely functional, she can get around, it's just her feet that are the problem. Not enough Riboflavin in my poultry vitamins to fix it. Hopefully it's not too late.

Old lady Poof decided to kick the bucket sometime last night.

The Silkie pullet is starting to stand, & walk around more, & more since I started giving her 100% pure Riboflavin supplement.
