Grit, I showed my daughter your IMPy

Impy is my accidental turken roo, sexed as a pullet. As ugly as the day is long. Also, has a habit of woo'ing hens that don't belong to him.
I tried to hatch some eggs under a broody from my older flock, that was lead by my beautiful LF dark brahma roo Thor before he passed away:

When the chicks hatched I found out that my ugly buzzard (turken) roo Impy had been mating my brahma hens:

And the chicks came out looking like this:

Impys antics are legendary on BYC. A bunch of BYCers will probably hold a large and very touching memorial service for him the day I finally wring his naked neck.

That is one UGLY bird! Thanks for the laugh Gritsar!

Wait until you hatch Polish eggs and find Imp had a go at those girls too.

That is almost scary.

I'm sorry, gritty, but I can't HELP but

every time you have to explain about Impy and I see the pix of the trahma babies... I suspect you're not exactly laughing WITH us, but I SO can't help myself.... Thanks for not coming and wringing all of OUR necks!

At first I was confused, you put the first two pics in the wrong place, but that roo is ugly! The brahmas deserve better.

Impy will never be allowed to touch my polish. If I have to build Impy a bachelor coop on the other end of the farm and put barbed wire, chainlink and several other types of fencing round it, Impy will never be allowed around my polish

But I do have to admire his attitude. That boy gets around and he never takes NO for an answer!
