Chicken Dunk... *WITH PICS*

We do that with our birds in hot weather but I typically get a few angry squawks afterwards.

That is a very pretty roo, though.

That picture of the wet foot prints had me laughing out loud. Priceless!!!

He looks like he's sporting a very nice rounded buttercup comb now that I look at him...

Do you think, somewhere down the line of his parents, grandparents, etc. that he could have Sicilian Buttercup in him? I knew there were different combs out there, I never knew what they were 'till I read your post. I did some research on buttercup comb and the Sicilian Buttercup came up. It looked like him, via coloring, but they have no beard. do you think it's possible?

Not trying to turn this into "What breed/gender is this?", I was just curious...

 

[Boondachs]

are those buckets "tomato" buckets of some sort?

 

[FlashPointFarm]

He's a very pretty rooster! I was thinking Buttercup too. Sounds like he's very fond of you!

 

[ThePolishPrincess]

He looks kind of Buttercup-ish. I'd say he is Buttercup X something with a beard.

What color are the pads of his feet?

 

[Iowa Roo Mom]

Boondachs- They are bushel buckets. Grandpa used them for the sweet corn- to measure a bushel. I suppose you could use them for tomatos, if you need a whole bushel of tomatos

FlashPointFarm- Thanks! I think he is, but I know I am waaay more fond of him, he's such a baby

Spoiled roo

As soon as I am done going back to college, I'm building a coop and getting a whole bunch of chickens to

ThePolishPrincess- I've always wondered, with so many different breeds out there! The pads of his feet are yellow, hope that helps

Thanks to everyone for their comments, too, BTW

I want to see pics with his John Deere diaper on in the house lounging on the couch eating popcorn.

Yellow is a Buttercup's pad color. His base in the middle back is the correct coloring for a Sicilian roo, also. As is his leg color. I'm convinced your mystery is half-solved.

Lol, I'm no longer hijacking your thread.

Good luck! He's beautiful!
