Eggstremaly rare breeds

[Perris]

This is Obelix, a Barbezieux roo

He really is very tall, looming over the rest of the flock, but the hen is no taller than my Welsumer.

My utterly murderous, bold-as-brass Russian Orloff hen, Ginger~

One of my little Crevecoeur chicks, Boof, named because he has the poofiest baby head fluff.

Absolutely gorgeous laced feathers.

Here's Boof the Crevecoeur today (the other picture is more than a week ago)...

He's the biggest bird in the brooder right now. I think he's going to be an AMAZING rooster!

Love the name. And very fitting for a chicken with BOOF.

Well now you've gone and done it. Give me the least bit of encouragement, and I'm back to the brooder to pester Boof for more poses.

He's a half-fledged pre-adolescent now, going through that awkward phase -- no longer a "chick", but still not really a cockerel yet. At least, not so that you can really tell...

In this ^^^ photo, you can just see the two little knobs above his beak that will grow to be his "comb".

In adult Crevecoeur roosters, these look more like a pair of wiggly red horns than a rooster's comb.
