Check out these pictures of our White Rock chicken. The pictures show a timeline of the first 6 weeks of life, molting, and what she looks like at six months old.
This is our White Rock Chicken at 2 days old…such a cute little yellow fur ball.
At 1 week old, you can see some white growing in on her wings.
Some more white showing at 2 weeks olds.
At 3 weeks old, just a little yellow left.
Some bare spots showing at 4 weeks old.
Filling in nicely at 5 weeks old.
Almost completely white feathers at 6 weeks old.
Here she is at 6 months old.

I couldn't stop smiling looking at the transformation from cute little fur ball to a gorgeous bird. I like the series of photos with the same background and lighting. And the consistency in their posing. All turned at the same angle. Do you train them to pose so nicely? You have such a great attention to detail in your photography. You should make a wall montage with these photos.

Thank you Kimberly. I intentionally posed them like clockwork for the first 6 weeks...I was hoping it would be a great way to show through pictures just how quickly they change.
DeleteHow interesting that was...thanks for sharing! Something I do not have know before.
