Derperella, the (weird) Faverolles, & Friends

My chicks arrived in the mail today, and my mystery bantam (russian orloff maybe) appears to be Derpy! We thought she was going to die when we got her, she now still has one eye closed, wobbles around, and falls flat on her butt sometimes. She also likes to STARE at the ceiling. When I first saw her, I thought of Derp...
 
One thing that I've thought of is that the "derp" gene has to be recessive. If there was anything noticeably wrong with the two parents of Derp and Susie, they wouldn't be bred. So, even if you bred a derp chicken, the effects might not appear in that generation; but later down the line it might. So I respect and approve Nambroth's decision.

Oh no! I hope she makes it. I don't wish Derp's early experiences on any chick or their person!
 
Do you guys want an official contest? I can send the winner a little silly prize in the mail if so. You will just have to be patient with me as I have a few shows coming up along with a lot of other deadlines...!!
Cool! Official Derp drawing contest! Yes!
