Very cute name! Ours is named Tyrion (from Game of Thrones). She was the smallest but fearless as a chick. Thought she was a roo up until her 1st blue egg. Mom was a purebred from someone who got out of breeding & put all his chickens together. Dad unknown??

I'm guessing she only has one beard gene but her brother has 2 and his beard is huge. But the beard is the same color "greyish white".

Very pretty. She has a little bit of a Welsummer look - but with a beard & pea comb. (They're on my wish list someday.)
