Bunny and her fabulous tufts

Ah finally some tufts! They are so rare you hardly see them. Those are some fancy facial hair for sure

 

[MommyGirl]

Zoey and Ava have such unique coloring! Love the grey beards & muffs. What are they?

They are Easter Eggers that came from Hoovers hatchery 3 years ago!

Oh haha is there a face under all that hair somewhere?!

That’s why the crest gets trimmed so she can see. Otherwise the others act like she's blind. Watching her move is hilarious: crest bobs in counterpoint to the head. Got dubbed Thing 2 for good reason. (Thing 1, just like her, got killed by a dog, along with several others).

Almost 7 week old Watermaal showing off her (I think) fancy crest, she's got the starts of a beard coming in too.

And an almost 7 week old Watermaal who I'm fairly certain is a cockerel showing off his smaller crest and beard while perching on my knee

Aw I think my EE (my 1st photo) may turn out like Maybelline...her beard/muff is the last to fill in and she's still got some baby fuzz mixed in even at 9 weeks.
The barred rock and cheeks is a good combo...cute!

I'm raising breeds with 'facial hair' for the first time and just can't get enough of it!

Show me your chickens with their fabulous muffs, beards, and tufts!

Here are my 9-10 week olds!

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!
