Another look at the face feathers... anyone ever see these on a chook before?
I looked it up on the internet and guess what... I found: Muffs: A cluster of feathers projecting from the face below and around the sides of the eyes and extending from the beard to, and covering, the ear lobes. (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/PS013)







I think out of the 6 I got 5 roosters and only 1 hen... drat! I want Ameraucana or Araucana hens as they lay blue-green eggs.














Another shot of those feathers.










They are rather pretty looking birds. It appears that 5 of them have these face feathers and one doesn't... must be the rooster's version of a beard or sideburns, lol.












Check out the funny feathers on the face.
