Show me your muffs, beards, and tufts!

Whoa I've never heard of Watermaals...I thought that was their names! But I looked them up what very fancy birds...especially in the pure white. Just gorgeous!

They're not a super common breed! I'm still working on naming them actually since I'm starting to be able to tell them apart more consistently.

The biggest and best beard in my flock belongs to Venus. She's actually a cross, Welsummer rooster over Australian standard Araucana (like an Ameraucana + a crest)

I sure do love me some Ameraucanas

Hello, we have Backyard chickens and this one is Olive. We thought she was an Olive egger, hence the name. Guess she's an Easter egger. She was a very shy girl when we got her at 8-weeks, but she's a big girl now since she just started laying a couple of weeks ago. She's 20-weeks old today. Her eggs are almost dark brown and very small.

My two Im not sure the cockerels breed and the pullet is a EE. I love the muffs and beards.

Two Salmon Favorelle, one EE, and one Opal Legbar!
(Names in order of photos) Kawaii (the meanest one), Pueo (loves to sit in my lap), Kōlea (somewhat aloof), Astrid (the biggest butthead but she is the best chicken).

Claudius. He was supposed to be a blue cuckoo marin, but is quite clearly something else.

Another bit of weirdness, his rear toe on the left foot is "split": as in it's actually two toes each with its own nail.

That is how the fifth toe on five-toed breeds looks.

He’s handsome whatever he is.

Wow, she's really got the tufted thing goin' on! My two EEs haven't developed any "facial hair" yet (coming up on 3 months old); I wonder if there's still time? Olive is so dramatic!
