five months

5 months old, they are beautiful, the PG gene has really come out and not a lot of mossiness. I've had 2 birds taken and now everybody's in the same coop. I just had a tree fall on the big coop so now everybody's has to be in the new coop.. They're about getting to the age where they're going to start laying eggs. So that means I have to make sure that I have my egg laying containers firmly attached. And I need to make sure that I have enough perches.

almost two months old.

2023A
Almost two months old. They look just like their mothers.
^^^
Beautiful wild type e+ gal.

I hatched out 9 but I'm down to 8. 
2 of them have. Come down with some sort of skin condition where they're losing feathers around their face. I have seen this before only once and normally it means the chickens going to die. Some people have said it's a yeast infection or fungal infection. I just feel bad because I do not know how to treat it.
But i've isolated those two sick ones out. 

In the coop I have put fresh bedding down with some diatomacious earth. They instantly fluffed and cleaned themselves in it so that's a great sign. 

You can see how happy they are with the fresh bedding in the below pic. 
They are very friendly they come up to me they walk all over my feet they eat out of my hands. Their colorations very beautiful the pg genes. Is this playing very nicely just like their mother. Only two have the blue Dilution gene. One Wild type one big e.
