Show me your plumage

[BGcoop]

There are so many different intricacies and variations of feather patterns that it is fascinating. My first instinct is to look at the beauty of the whole bird almost from a distance, but then, when you examine them closer, you start to see the complexity of the patterns and how each feather is separate but works harmoniously with the others to create a stunning masterpiece of a creature. I would love to see your favorite plumages and know the breed of the bird(if you know it)!!
Examples:

I have different varieties of silkies, defined different by feathers, as in cuckoos and mottled.


Silkie - cuckoo frizzle


Silkie - satin laced from a mottled pen, so probably carrying a mottled gene as he sure doesn't look like it.

Here's Mina, my most beautiful chickie of all she has soooo many feathers! BLW

This is Teddy, my EE. I believe she is an Ameraucana/Welsummer mix (one of my other EEs from the same hatch has a beard). She has the loveliest ombre effect on her head and neck.

This is Dawn. She's younger than the others, and one of two Olive Eggers. They're both very blonde.
