bantam sumatras


I learned to do picures, yay! This is the best photo I could get, she is a bit shy. She is developing a small comb.....I don't know for sure what a pea comb is....but it is maybe turning red. I was told she is a Phoenix pullet, but I don't know......Sumatra maybe? Very black with a pretty turquoisey blue glimmer in the sun. She is very cute and built low to the ground.

Very nice looking bird!

A pea comb doesn't have any fingers at the tips. The comb sort of grows buds close to the head. :)
 
The pullet's name has been changed to Ebony. She has quit going in the coop at night.....sleeps up under our porch about six feet off the ground. I have seen her check out the nest box a couple of times but no eggs yet. I still don't really know what she is, but looks much more like photos of Sumatras to me instead of a Phoenix. But she is what she is. The first night she stayed out of the coop I thought she was a goner. She has been out about 4 or 5 nights now. I could try to catch her but I'm not sure I could catch her where she is roosting. She seems very happy there and goes over to the coop in the mornings to check out the food when I open the gate.
:rolleyes:
