As they get older she should get even fluffier!! also don't let that beautiful sunny picture fool you, there was some snow on the ground but my dad made a fire to melt it so we could put the coop there. it's like 35 right now, so most snow melted anyways but it's going to snow again soon

So it's a guessing game and you have to see what works and what doesnt?

Not a guessing game if you're smart. You need to know what genes your birds have so then you'll know what they'll produce. That's the work.
So many people people have no clue. They throw two birds together and see what hatches then try to figure out what they have.
That's putting you in the dark and always trying to catch up. Not the best way. Breeding projects are mixing genes and then your mixing birds with mixed genes so that produces a lot of possible combinations. That makes some of what you want and some that you don't want. I call those throw aways just cause they're not used to move forwards. Sometimes it can be like 1/2 are keepers or 1 out of 4 but it can also.get 1 out of 16 or 1 out of 64 or.... get the point?
You have to produce a lot to get a few that you want. I try not to get where the odds are to great so I'm not hatching a thousand chicks that I have to have a plan B for.
Hatching blindly or without knowing the outcome will have you knee deep in birds to eat but not to get to your goal with.
Complicated huh?
