Breed: Easter Egger

Dart's expression has nothing to do with the fact I'm taking a photo of her in this state. She always looks this fierce, molting or no.

That second picture of just her face is priceless! She almost doesn't seem to mind her molt that much by looking at these pictures. Is she?

Quick question: What is her breed? Rule #1
