Cyn, I think I like Beau the best because when I was reading that sentence I heard it as Wyatt, Wobin, and Wren.

It doesn't take much to get me tounge tied

Yard full o' rocks :

I'm with you Cyn. I have one BR left from the Wheeler birds and in the sunshine...green sheen. My Columbians have the same. Now Pepper is more "grey" than black, esp in his tail feathers

I saw the green sheen , is that not a good thing?​

I'm gonna go outside and check over my Barred Rocks ..... lookin' for metallic.

 

[speckledhen]

You mean our birds are metal-heads?

LOL, don't even get us started on this green sheen thing. Green sheen is there, even if subtly, on most BRs today, for better or worse. And in the immortal words of Rhett Butler, "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a ____". Remember, I wrote my own SOP and will follow it religiously in the future.

Speckledhen's Poultry Standard of Perfection

Comb:
Single, pea or rose, or combination thereof. No others permitted.

Head:
Firmly attached to neck, in proportion to the body.

Neck:
Must be completely feathered. No naked necks.

Shanks and toes:
Must be in proportion to the body. No extra long ostrich legs or extra short dumpy legs allowed.
Any color acceptable.

Fluff:
Must have lots of it, especially butt-fluff, , however, they must not appear to be wearing clothing two sizes too large!
Any color except white.

Plumage/Color:

Any pattern and any color except white are acceptable.
Must have real feathers. No silkie feathers, no frizzles, sizzles, or other "izzles" allowed.

Miscellaneous:

Hens must lay eggs occasionally. Any color egg is acceptable.
Hens must have tendency to brood once a year, but no more than once. No "serial broodies" permitted.
Roosters must be calm, even-tempered and non-human aggressive, but alert, protective and good to his girls.
Friendly and curious personalities necessary in both sexes.

The only judge as to whether a bird meets this Standard is ME.

Gosh, your right about Wyatt, Wobin and Wren, LOL though Wren is an "r" sound starting with a "w". Sort of a tongue twister there! Still thinking on it.​

Well since I share everything about Jo with you folks...you may meet her new Vet Dr. Rocky Mason. I contacted Hagyard Equine Medical Institute in Lexington, who have been in operation since the late 1800's and cared for our TB and Qtr Horse racers when I was growing up, and requested him or Dr. Christopher Smith to care for Joleta. And bless my stars Hagyard called me a bit ago and said Dr. Mason would accept us as clients and take care of Jo. YAY!!!

Here are a couple videos he did:

And here is the beautiful Equine Medical Institute, which if we decide to let Joleta be a mama again, she will go here for breeding and possibly foaling if I became a nervous ninny.

CYN CYN CYN

I got it...I got the perfect name for him Robin, Wren and drumroll.......wait for it

BATMAN!

 

[Hillbilly Hen]

Cyn, I love your SOP!

 

[speckledhen]

Hehehehe, I can't imagine calling that teensy boy Batman. I may have to make a teensy cape and mask for him, then.

As far as my SOP, Nugget just failed by going broody twice in a year. Bad Nuggs!

Oh, the visual! Hahahahaha!

Tiny rooster with mask and cape driving his tiny Batmobile across the yard, that is rich, LOL!



Actually, Nuggs can be whatever she likes. She's a good girl and is allowed to break the rules anytime she likes.

I bet you could get him a saddle that would be perfect for Batman.

I'm getting these for 2 hens and 1 bantam rooster.

Picture is of a harness, but saddle would be the same minus the loop. OMG SO AWESOME.
