Wow! I thought Buff Marshies were extinct for sure!

I agree that it does carry itself quite rooish. Although there is a noticeable lack of a comb... It does look quite unhealthy, though. I bet it doesn't make it out the week. Sorry for the bad news...

Careful breeding, my friend. It only takes a Lavender Mallow and a Golden Marshie to produce the desired effect.

I hear they make good eating which is why they're so endangered. Is it true?

I wouldn't know - I'm hoping to breed it, so no eating (yet).

Thanks. After some careful research I found a picture of the eggs, too:

Quite colorful! They make an Easter Egger seem drab!
