My Growing Flock

[Feather queen]

Spark

Breed: Batam Australorp x Silkie
Rank: Flock Protector
Age: 5-6 months

Spark is the prettiest rooster in our flock, he, his brother (splash), and his sister (willow) came as a group of three from a local breeder

Spark inherited the silkie comb and feet but has an australorp body, he was hatched out pure black and as he got older gold started to peep through until he turned into the handsome rooster he is today

He is a kind rooster to the hens and a fierce protector sharing his position equally with Fluffybutt, although the two roosters have had many scuffles they have never drawn blood.

Splash

Breed: Batam Australorp x Silkie
Rank: Former protector
Age: 5-6 months

Splash his brother (spark) and his sister (willow) came from a breeder labeled as Pullets but that was only true for one.

Splash was hatched pure grey and as he got older two splashes of white appeared on his wings earning him his name, but the splashes continued to grow until almost all of his body became white, he inherited the silkie comb, feet, poof and tail.

Splash was once pretty but the older he got the more unattractive he became we were planning on getting rid of him anyway but when he attacked Fluffyutt almost killing him he was sent to another house until we could set up our rooster cadge or until our rooster buyer can swing by.

Willow
Breed: Batam Australorp x Silkie
Rank: Unkown - Climbing ranks
Age: 5-6 months

Willow and her brothers (Spark and Splash) came from a breeder, the only hen out of the Group of 3.

Willow hatched out a dark grey and as she got old specks of black peeped through the grey and then even later brown specks appeared too. She inherited the silkie comb, feet, and poof, she is both muffed and bearded giving her an adorable little face.

Willow is a very friendly hen who is quite dominated and as she has just started laying her rank is quite confusing but I think she will eventually settle at 2nd or 3rd command.
