He bit me through the sleeve of my hoodie. He broke some of the threads too. He has power, & sharpness with that beak.

Here's Goober, my first throw back bird.

Those long legs. He looks like a Game with a big butt.

I love his coloring!

I love his coloring!

Thanks, he's from my original Wheaten Crele Orpington project. I'm repurposing the project into a new breed project. I'm pretty much gonna be breeding a new survivalist breed. Naming them Rainbow Runners.

I love that color! What do hens look like, do you have any?

One thing I don't understand why people say Malays lack fluff, & won't survive winter.

One thing I discovered about Malays, they do fluff up when it cools off. Like that of a Pheasant, or any wild Game Bird.

The only time they lacked any fluff was in the hot weather.

I know this, since I would give them a look over every few weeks, or so just to see how they're developing.

One of my younger Malay pullets has a sprain leg, she'll be okay though.

3 are the largest so far, a 4th is starting to grow. He's gonna have 5 per leg.

Oh wow. I have Faverolles who are supposed to have 2 spurs. One of my boys has a missing spur. Its really funny, cause he only has 3 now. Its some genetic mutation i think.

Faverolles are supposed to have 1 spur per leg, & 5 toes.
