Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[Ponypoor]

Wheaten and Partridge are often referred to in BYC posts and I have no idea what those mean - if they are rare I will forget about them!

Doesn't mean she isn't loved - but you had mentioned (and some photos show) a bit of fraying on the feather ends.

But they look like bagpipes!

If I was too tired and sick I would hunt up your feather duster silkies and add some bagpipes with them

Goldie enjoyed that patch of clover and rye.

Oooo a frizzle nice!

Goldie sure looks like she is doing well, how is her leg doing these days?

One of my first Blue Australorps DEFINITELY had poor quality feathers.

And yet my three ‘blue’ (or I call them grey) ladies have lovely feathers. Thick luxurious and glossy. Maybe they are not blue…? Maybe they are something else

Very Different - wheaton & Partridge coloring

Wheaton


Partridge

​

Wheaton is much lighter than Partridge. But Partridge also has essentially double lacing (not called lacing as the colors are reversed)​
