Mine was of little Toria at 3 months too. The look identical except for mine all wet.

LOL, we get NO rain, and my birds look absolutely terrible right now! One has a messy butt! Why? I don't know, but today I saw it and am thinking of giving her a bath but I can't stand the heat right nowOh law I knew y'all would ask for that. We have gotten so much rain my poor birds are a mess especially the white. I will get one this afternoon when I get home. Just don't hold their dirty feet against me.I can barely feed and water the birds without fainting! I really hate summer!
You can't be talking about mine! Oh no, they look absolutely horrible. Most have lost their beards, and are molting, with feathers all worn out and DIRTY! I think they take baths in their water then roll around or something??? Can't say as I blame them though, it's HOT!we dont care about dirty!!! ours all all that way right now too. well, except Clucks. Hers are always clean and shiney.
That's what mine look like only no storm! They stick their heads in their fermented feed (wet) and probably take baths in their water, LOL
I say girl too
They have about a 50/50 chance at a grey down, which is some kind 'o I don't know, forgot what it's called, but a gene in there that only shows up in the down. It will still be white when it grows up. Congrats on the babiesHello again Sultan lovers... guess what? On a whim I ordered a few more sultan eggs from a different vendor and now have two chicks! I have a question: are these birds at all dimorphic? I ask because one is much more grey than the other. Already one has a bigger crest knob. Any thoughts on this?
On a very very sad note, I'm devastated because our neighbor was so angry hearing the birds, he came down and yelled at us. I honestly thought I had them plenty quiet? I don't know how he could hear the birds, in the house, in a dog crate with a blanket on them. Their house is at least 50 feet away from ours (flag lot), and the neighbors on the other side are 10 feet away but hear nothing. So anyway, we ended up giving away all of our boys. Every last one. I think my husband has a great book he is finishing, and if it sells, he promised me we'll move where I can raise chickens in solitude. I hope it'll be Washington, but it might be Texas (still too hot for me though!) At least I have Charlies one and only offspring, and she better be a girl!!!!
