A couple years ago my DH brought home a tiny squinky rooster. It was my first bantam, and he reminded me of the Roadrunner from Bugs Bunny, the way he constantly dashed about to serve the ladies and avoid the bigger roosters. I thought HEY, wouldn't it be cool to have a chicken that looks like a real roadrunner? Cream Brabanters are pretty close, but I had no way to get any, so I basically started trying to breed my own. Since then, that project has gone in several different directions. I've got several feather pattern types and don't know which I like best. Collectively, they look like a flock of little Icelandic chickens almost every one unique...But they're very pretty and so much fun to mix and match, that I haven't bothered getting serious about body type or anything.Microraptor wrote:

How about a rooster with the frigate bird red skin?

My champix dreams are still quite vivid. Sometimes they are horror movies playing in my brain. When I manage to avoid those it's always about chickens. Last night I discovered a new colour in the TSC lol. Baby blue with flecks of pink, red, green, yellow all over like someone flicked paintbrushes at the poor chicks. They were aptly named "confetti".
Needless to say chicken math happened even in my sleep and I came home with all they had.
