chickens and fur

[Guest]

I have eleven baby chickens right now, . The two female black Australorps and two female Rhode Island Reds were born on June 11. The buff Orpington and silver-laced Wyandotte were born one week later. The five Bielefelders consist of three males, four weeks old, and two females, about one and a half to two weeks old. Here they are wrapped in luxurious Canadian sable fur.

Interesting because, biologically speaking, feathers are just a modified form of fur.
