Two down,
two to go.
I'm putting off the barnevelder.
Have you seen the feathers on that thing?
Phew. Some tough colouring coming up.

The feathers were tough! There's about four layers of colour in there, at least, and then the little painted stripes on the feathers. Dutch bantams have this wonderful gradation of colour in their chest feathers and wing feathers. It's really quite incredible.

The coloring on Dutch bantams is probably close to my favorite of all chicken feather patterns; at first glance, it's "brown," but there's so much there :)
