Beautiful. I love the feathers on ours. Roo is black, but his feathers shine purple and green in the sun. Wyandottes are super duper pretty too, as well as the dominickers we just got two of :) yay for disorder lol thats why I use the date because I'd lose count after 4!
You are smart!!! I might go to that method as well :)
And looking forward to your feather and your baby chick pictures. You now have a lot of models :)
