Thanks Shay, She was a last minute stand in. Her older sister was suppose to come but I ran out of time & she did not have to be scrubbed so much so she went instead. Her sister is more developed and really blows her out of the water in silkie type!

Hey Shay! I think a good name for the WC black polish would be "Andy", he looks like Andy Wharhol ! and the WC Blue hen looks like a Sofia to me...I dont know why but that name popped into my head! I still ove the name Rolly Poly Tomato though! HAhahahaa

WOW Shay!
Who would have thought that White Crested Black would do so well I am very pleased he did so well for you.
He is a special rooster, one of them thar packing peanuts.
I still love his top hat, I had never seen a polish with such huge topping till he came into his own.

Thank you Gypsy, i love him he is such a big boy, i think he would have done better, but the night before i was bathing him and he struggled and kicked and gave me a bath instaed, so was not able to get all the yellow out of his haed, and some how one of his main tail feathers got cracked.
but i will still be bring him into show. oh and he loves to talk to you.

Hmmmmm Sofia it is.

I like that name too for her.

LOL, Yea Rolly Polly Tomatoo came from, I got him from Spotplus( thank you Spotplus

) And they named him Tomatoo.
And my first Red cochin roo i named him Rolly Polly, becouse when he ran it look like a big butter ball running. hehe i miss him.

so i did not want to take the name Tomatoo from him, so i combined it, and it became Rolly Polly Tomatoo, which fits perfect becouse he wabbles when run and he is red like a tomatoo. LOL
