    Ended Some Poultry Are Red, Some Are Blue, But Let's Not Forget, They Can Be Barred Too!

    Not to derail the thread too much, but I get about a 1 out of 8 Bielefelder body type out of my F2s and F3s. Here is FUBAR (she was a very ugly chick that had a great glow-up) being used as a blanket by her smaller siblings.

    Entry 3 - BARS Oppenheimer, a Bielefelder. I got him as a free surprise chick from McMurray nearly 6 years ago.

    Entry 2 - Bielefelder Siblings Enrico Fermi is so hot he has to cool his junk on the water dish. Dora, his sister in the foreground, is not impressed. (I prodded him upright into behaving properly after taking the pic) :gig

    Entry 2 - BARS Group shot of the F2 Squad, part of my Bielefelder/Fayoumi project. They have two types of barring going on here, an auto-sexing barring, as well as an autosomal dominant lateral penciling (I've seen several arguments over whether this is called barring or pencilling!)

    Entry 1 - RED With flaming locks of auburn [plumes] With ivory [eggs] and [legs] of [olive] green Jolene was absolutely FIERCE broody, she even scalped a few cockerels that stuck their beaks in the wrong place.

    ABSOLUTELY! She's a nutbar. Plucked her ENTIRE midriff bare when she was broody. Not just a belly patch, her sides and BACK too! I like sharing this pic of as a 'not an entry' because it's not moulting, but she definitely looks great in a 2-piece. She did great rearing those chicks.
