Fitz's Feathers

It seemed like it would never happen, but Fitz's feathers are finally growing back .  This is a close-up of her chest.  Do you see the dark colored pin feathers?
Can you tell why a chicken might feel a little under the weather while these swords poke through their skin?  OUCH!
 You can see the ones that are lighter in color here.
There is still a patch on her chest that needs to be filled.  

On another day when I have an assistant to hold Fitz I will take some pictures of her head.  The feathers growing back around her comb look like teeny-tiny cotton balls.

And for the record, it took about 25 blurry photos for me to get these three pictures of her.  And these pictures aren't even very good.  Chickens move fast!
