I recently commissioned someone on DA to create a species for me. It was to be based on a rooster and a weasel. They finished, and now I'm working on making it a serious species. There will be many beak variations, depending on genetics and habitat. The hens, females, lack spurs and have smaller comb spikes. There will be 3 species: Silky, Bantam, and Barny. Shown above is basically a Barny rooster.
They do have wings, which they can use to glide short distances and leap/jump quite a ways, but the wings are tucked in when not in use. You can see the Wing Spurs poking out from the armpit. All spurs are used for fighting, and only roosters have these spurs. Roosters are also much larger than hens.
There are numerous variations that may occur:
Variation Name: Rarity
Description
Common Comb: common
Where the comb consists of several spikes, not joined, and length varying depending on position. (shown)
Static Comb: rare
Where the comb consists of several spikes, not joined, and all the same length.
Crested Comb: uncommon
Where the comb consists of several spikes, joined about midway up the spine. Length varies depending on position.
Erect Tail: rare
Where the tail feathers are very stiff and all stand straight up.
Phoenix Tail: common
Where the tail feathers grow to be long and silky. (shown)
---more variations to come---
Also, oh my gosh! I am so scared about putting this in Intermediate! I'm trying really hard to make it worthy guys, please don't kick me out yet! Also, if you have any critiques, I'd love to hear them!
