What's the rarest breed or variety you have?

Just outside of Missoula. Somtimes I drive to Hamilton.

We camped and fished up Tin Cup Lake and ate so many huckleberries! And the best Lambert cherries grow up around Flathead Lake. Great memories.

I'm in the US, but I'm using the Australian standards for my Australorps because I don't have access to the US standards.

I'm not showing them so it doesn't matter. I just need a good target to aim for.

Fair enough

I used to have a pekin/muscovy male. He was my baby.

I love scovies there so funny to watch and to interact with…

They are funny. I loved my boy elvis's funny little tail wag and waddle.

Omg! Yea that would have to be my favourite thing about them… the way they wag there tails and waddle especially when they try running


That and how the girls have this whole “we take no sh*t from anyone” attitude lol… my muscovy girls are always fighting with the roosters lol

I don't have experience with hens, only the one drake, Elvis. He was a no sh*t kinda boy to. He even picked a fight with a full grown Tom turkey (he lost though. We found him with a chunk of his face taken off by the turkey) he tried again a few days later to.

What do you call that kind of comb? She's very pretty.

I think it is a single comb.

Like the comb on a Leghorn hen, it is large and flopped over rather than standing up straight.

And like a Crested Cream Legbar, this hen's comb is pushed forward by the crest behind it, which affects which way it can flop.

It certainly makes a different appearance than most chickens with single combs!

Fair enough

I know that there are some breeds where which country's standards you use makes a big difference in what the breed looks like, but Australorps seem to be pretty similar.

Which I suppose makes sense given that nearly everything in the Australorp standard says "medium".

The girls are so funny… they full get together and have a good gossip together and the sounds they make are just adorable…
