Well, she's always had a cascading tail rather than upright, which is to type for Australian Australorps, but not for American Australorps. Same with her big black eyes.

But her tail feathers are still growing.

This shot is from last winter. She's fully feathered here but without an upright tail. She's always been pink skinned rather than red. She's been wormed and her fecal floats are normal. She goes red when stressed. So mayber she has a circulatory problem.
Anyway, she's rarely stressed and rarely red.

Those black eyes are a bit disconcerting if you are not used to them.
I bet she's got some lovely colours in full daylight.

Interesting seeing how much wattle movement there is when in motion.

She is beautiful. But you are right, no upright tail. I never noticed that before

Have you ever read any of the studies equating larger wattles with attractiveness to hens? It seems the bigger the wattles the more the ladies are drawn to him.

I love watching cats and dogs play. So cute. I'm so glad they are becoming friends.

Are those Stanley's long orange legs?

You have beautiful eggs.

When you get up close (if they let you!) you can see the iris isn’t black but dark brown, and can see the pupil separately. Charlie has a green sheen to her feathers in the sunlight.
