Well done @rural mouse.
That was fun. I got it wrong (of course!) but it was fun looking up Italian chicken breeds.

Trust me I'm also bad at guessing breed unless if I'm the one whos asking what the breed of. This is a game I call "what's that breed".

Nope, anymore guesses?

Chickens?

they are very cute. I thought RIRs were layer breeds? Not meat?

Dual purpose. Most large chicken breeds are, from what I can tell.

Also if someone else want to do this game just take a really unheard of breed and as everyone what it is, but you should know what it is. However it's not a rule.

Is Jaffar a Naked neck? Or is he just missing feathers on his neck?

Haha, I asked the same question when I was new here!

I have an RIR but she is like a layer. She is tiny and is laying through her molt right now. You know Little Bananas

THAT one

I was asking why he doesn't have feathers on his neck...

Because of Jaffar's clingy girls. They pluck his feathers!

I have a layer RIR too. I think that all of my birds are dual purpose, but they will never be used for meat.

I have a question for you Fluffy Butt Acres friends: at what age do a clutch of chicks get a pecking order?
I know it can change over time, but do they have one from day one?
I am trying to figure who is currently the top Pentagonist and it is not clear to me. Sometimes I think Piglet or Sylvie but I am not sure if they are showing leadership or just being mischievous.
Tassels is the biggest by far. Pooh seems the most developed in that her voice is breaking first. Sylvie and Piglet are the most adventurous.
