we have a fluffy hen. now she has had babies, two are starting to grow feathers but the rest look like theyre going to stay fluffy into adulthood too. we rent out on a farm so these things are semi feral and i dont know too much about them but i imagine inbreeding is rampant. so whats the story with fluffy adult chickens. an unusual mutation?

Why does that chicken look so freaked out.
What have you been doing to that poor bird.

I have this kind of chicken too, but they are white and small, their eggs are a medium sized from quail eggs to commercial eggs, this picture is from the rooster.
I have had some chickens for a little over a year now if anyone wants to "see the proofs."
You guys are retarded. This is silkie feathering (see: silkies). It's recessive, if the father isn't silkied, he's heterozygous for it.

Inbreeding is not a problem if there is more than one rooster around. Even if there is only one rooster it takes about 4 generations for negative signs to show up.
