Did you know Beepers down feathers are steel grey? This isn't the case for every buff bird, it depends on their color base. Wheaten based buff birds have light white to creamy yellow down feathers while eb based buffs more commonly have these grey feathers

The Columbian Gene!
Columbian is one of the gold extenders found in chickens. Columbian is a dominant gene that extends more of the pheomelanin over the bird and restricts the black to the neck, tail, and primary feathers (and sometimes male saddle feathers).
It originated from Asian "Shanghai Fowl." Buff Brahmas and Light Brahmas are some of the oldest breeds that the gold and silver columbian coloration is found in. Buff Cochins also have the gene, though they have other gold-extending modifiers as well.
Tumblr media
The term "columbian" which would go on to become the name for the gene was coined at the 1893 Columbian Exhibition, or World's Fair in Chicago. Columbian Wyandottes were shown at the exhibition, and named after it.
Columbian is a lot more specific of a term than "Buff" or "Light" fortunately, but it still is a bit confusing.
"Columbian" really denotes a e^b/e^bCo/CoS/- which means that it should really be called silver columbian, since it has the silver gene.
Tumblr media
"Buff columbian" really denotes a e^b/e^bCo/Cos+/- Unlike buff, which has additional modifiers, it should really be called gold columbian.
Tumblr media
Columbian can on a wheaten base as well, it is found in light Sussex and Sundheimers. (No, I don't see more Sundheimers than light Sussex, but I have pictures of Sundheimers and not light Sussex because Sundheimers are rare and so of course I have to take a picture.)
The only difference between partridge-based and wheaten-based columbian birds is that wheaten-based males don't have any black saddle-striping.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both of the birds above were Sundheimers. Wow! New importation! (I know, it really looks a lot like a feather-legged light Sussex.)
I really do love silver columbian colored birds. They feel comfortably domesticated. Sometimes I wonder why some mutations are bred for when they often seem less beautiful or less practical than wild type in my eyes. But silver columbian hens just look like some chicken who contributed to a farmer's livelihood 100 years ago, just free-ranging and laying eggs and I love them for that.
The Columbian gene is needed for so many of the patterns we find in our chickens.
I don't have any examples of what e+/e+Co/Co would look like. I'm not sure if people just found that the pattern was uneven and unappealing or if it has never been tried.
However, quail d'Anvers are e+/e+Co/CoMl/Ml (Ml is melanotic). Which is pretty amazing because there aren't a lot of duckwing-based patterns out there. Just look at this fabulousness.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here you can see that despite being a gold-extender Columbian did something even silver can't do: it removed the salmon-colored breast from a duckwing bird. Gold extender and autosomal red remover? Wow, columbian wears many hats!
I also think that it's interesting that both male and female plumage have gold-colored breasts, yet the color has an impressive amout of sexual dimorphism due to the lovely intricate pattern on the females and the striking contrasting pattern on the males.
Tumblr media
There are a lot more Columbian based patterns out there but I am going to cover them another day.
But I had to include quail because silver quail happens to be one of my two favorite colors.

2023 keeps impressing me with beautiful surprises. I would have never fathomed owning my own home and raising my own chickens.
Can’t wait to see their colorful eggs 🪺

I was googling chickens and "buff chickens" came up as a recommended search and I thought "hell yes I would like to see some muscular chickens" but it turns out Buff Orpington is just a breed of chicken..... Still beautiful creatures but not what I was expecting

yet again staff has had to make an unnecessary change, all bc you people loving throwing absolute shitfits over the littlest things.
this time they had to re-name the chicken apparel because "UM, ACHTCHEWELLY, THE BUFF BRAHMA BREED HAS XYZ FEATURES, MAKING THIS CHICKEN INACCURATE!! 🤓", and they knew if you people didn't get your own way you'd scream and shit and cry until you did.
the chickens were fine, and i liked the variety in the names! now we're stuck with "red chicken", "blue chicken", "rooster", "silver chicken". like congratulations! you got your stupid minimalist aesthetic that you wanted, the fun tooltips are gone! you got your Scientifically Accurate chicken png!
how does it feel to be the worlds most specialist babies who harass staff until they get what they want?
you people INSISTING on scientifically accurate horseshit MUST be the result of a sad, monochromatic modern tiktok living room making a wish to be a real boy. jesus christ.
i'm probably overreacting, but it gets real old real fast when every update brings a bunch of whiny little nut-garglers out of the woodwork to sob about how inaccurate the dragon png game is.

I LOVE YOUR CHICKENS!!! I'm a big chicken lover too!! What breeds are they? Do they have names?
YEAHHH SO DO I <33 Ohh boy here we go...
Our head rooster is Shmuel, and he's a rhode island red brahma mix! Then we have his son, Santa, who's mom was an olive egger! Then we have Rocket, the swedish flower hen rooster!
We have Big Red and Mavis, the rhode island reds, Janet the easter egger, Helen and Athena the olive eggers, Three ISA browns we can't tell apart so they're just the ISA browns-- Then we have Mama Karen the black jersey giant, Wendy and Odette the silver laced wyandottes, Annie and Rat Bird the blue stars, and my favorite girl Pumpkin who we dont know the breed of-- We also have Dweeb and Goldie the buff orpingtons.
Then we have Mulberry and Morrow--the first two we hatched ourselves. And we also have Cheese and Crackers, who are identical, but Cheese is a barred rock and Crackers is Mama Karens and Shmuels daughter. We also have two unnamed DweebxShmuel babies that we can't tell apart so we call them the Dweeblings.
Finally, we have Corn, the bantam silkie rooster, and his bantam silkie hens: Batman, Fifi, and Beans. (we also have Rampage the drake, and Momo and Elon Muscovy the duck hens) All my beloved creatures <3

*weasels into your inbox* hello!!!!!!!! i heard you were asking for deimos imagines ideas and i am here to provide
we all know that dumb mf can’t cook for shit so maybe the reader teaching him how to cook something simple? or, inversely, deimos teaching reader a skill (sumn to do with tech, probably)
this may be me projecting but deimos seems like he’d be into farm animals, specifically chickens (*hides my status as a college student enrolled in an agriculture-related field behind my back*) so i’m thinking about reader coming back from recon work and going “look what i found :D!!!!!” and pulling a chicken out of their bag and deimos freaking tf out bc! chickem!!!!!! (also deimos gives me “i love big fluffy breeds like buff orpington and brahmas” type vibes ;;)
i’m bad at explaining things dm me if absolutely none of this makes sense
Here we are, I hope you got this. I think I'm still shadowbanned. But I hope you enjoyed it. I did both of your suggestions above.
The Best Times
Tumblr media
Art by sharks_sk_art on Twitter
Over the course of years, you have gotten used to the smell of explosions and gunfire, the smell of gunpowder or even the scent of freshly spilt blood doesn't faze you anymore.  But that doesn't mean you turn your head, especially this early in the morning. The smell of something burning hits your nostrils like a train, causing you to wake up right away. Sitting up in your cot, the burning smell becomes stronger and your very first instinct kicks in. "Fire!" You shout and tumble out of your cot. Scrambling to get up while your legs are tangled in the blankets.  You manage to get out of the blankets and you rush to the source of the smell. 
There, in the makeshift kitchen is where you find the source of all this commotion. "Every time I cook it gets a little bit smoky, but that doesn't mean the place is on fire!" Deimos sings through the smoke of whatever he just ruined in the pan over the stove.  "Deimos! What the hell! I thought the place was on fire!" You shout in a panic, the rise of the adrenaline still working in your veins.  Deimos turns to you with a toothy grin, "Oh! Mornin' (Y/n). You're up and fresh today!" He greets cheerfully. As if the kitchen's ceiling isn't completely covered in smoke and ash.  You give him an incredulous look, is he serious? "What are you making?" You ask in a condescending tone, although you're not really in the mood for scolding this early in the morning.  "I'm cookin' some bacon for us. Want some?" He gestures with the spatula to the pan, where a shrivelled-up piece of cole is causing a scene.  You look on at the 'bacon' with disgust, "err, no thanks..." You answer politely, your tone of voice hiding the revolution. 
"Deimos... You kinda, uh... can't cook." You comment, rubbing the back of your neck before running a hand through your unruly hair.   Deimos looks at you, and then gasps in offence, one hand pressed on his chest. "How dare you! I'm a fine cook." He exclaims with pride, although you are not impressed in the slightest.  "cut it out Deimos... You'll burn down the kitchen one day, here." You discard the burned cole and grab a new pan from one of the cupboards. "Let me show you, how to cook bacon." You step in front of the smoker and take the now ruined pan and place it in the sink to let it cool off. "Still got any?" You ask him, he nods and points at the slightly broken fridge from where he most likely got the meat from. 
You manoeuvre around him and look inside the fridge for a used package of bacon, with still some remaining meat inside it.  "Teaching me cooking, mom?" Deimos teases, you as he watches you work. He leans forward slightly in interest at what you are showing him.  "Now, to prevent you from burning anything again, I'm going got show you how to cook bacon as a starter. Watch closely." You order while using liquid butter in the pan and let it eat up. The stove is not too damaged and can still be used without problems. 
~~~~
"I didn't know you had to put butter in the pan," Deimos comments while watching over your shoulder at the roasting meat. Using a new spatula, you successfully flip the bacon to the other side. "well, bacon has a lot of fat on its own. But just a little extra in there to ensure it doesn't burn." You explain gesturing with your spatula to the cooking meat.  Deimos flashes his shark-like teeth in a bright grin. "You gotta teach me to cook more often!" He beams, and you can't help but offer a tiny smile in return. 
"Will do, Deimos... Will do."
~~~~
It is the simple moments with a bright spirit like Deimos that make your life worth living. A little bit of light in this dark world of nothing but violence, Deimos' presence felt like a breath of fresh air you didn't have for what felt like years. You felt the dire need to thank him for all the good times brought into your life... But you're not sure how just yet.
Your train of thought is derailed when a door to the barracks slams open, a very angry-looking Deimos stomps in, throwing his bag into his cot and rummages through it for a pack of cigarettes, and then he storms back out again. He and his pal Sanford have been away for a few days, out on a mission to gather info from an Aahw outpost. Usually, Deimos is there to greet you cheerily when they return from a mission. Something has definitely gone wrong on this expedition of theirs.  And just when Deimos leaves, Sanford enters the barracks while looking quite defeated.  "What happened to you? And what's up with him?" You ask, gesturing to the door to the barracks.  Sanford lets out a long sigh and runs a hand over his bandana. "Failed mission." He answers simply. "He's taking it personally." Sanford nods his head towards the entrance, a sudden crash is heard from outside, and Sanford sighs loudly. "Give him a minute to cool off." a couple more loud thuds from outside, indicates that Deimos is throwing a tantrum or either getting rid of his frustration with some more physical violence. 
You're kind of worried to be honest, whatever has gone wrong on this mission that would make Deimos act too frustrated. You don't really want to know to be honest. But one thing you do know is just how to cheer him up. Together with that, you found during your scavenging task from this morning.
~~~~
A moment later, right outside the barracks is where you find Deimos; who has calmed down at this point. Sitting on a crate of ammo, smoking away. Several used butts surrounded him, along with a couple of smaller spilt ammo boxes that he presumably knocked over out of rage.
"all cooled off?" You ask while approaching him, your hands shoved in your pockets. Deimos spits out the now-used cigarette into the sand. "Yeah, I guess..." He huff and pushes himself off of the crate. His arms sway loosely by his sides as he saunters in your direction. "I could've shown I've got it."He complains, kicking a random pebble away.  That failed mission really had him bummed out, you hope this surprise you have for him cheers him up back to his old self.  You look at him sincerely, "I have something to show you Deimos." Your comment makes Deimos perk up. His whole expression gleamed with intrigue. "Somethin' to show? Moi?" He puts his hand on his chest in surprise.  You smile and nod with enthusiasm. You turn around and beckon Deimos to come and follow you. 
You take Deimos out to your buggy, in the back of the buggy is your storage crate. "Wait here." You say and he skips to a halt, rocking on his heels impatinely while you run out to your storage crate.  "Get ready." You say playfully while grabbing the lid of the crate. Deimos leans forward with interest.  Once you lift the lid, a fast and small creature flutters out of the crate, bronze feathers scatter about as the creature lands on the ground. Once the being is still; it turns out to be a chicken. A fluffy looking and robust, bronze featherd chicken.  "whoa!" Deimos gapes at the feathered creature in wonder. "That's a hecking chicken!" He exclaims and points at the chicken. The chicken caws and flaps it's wings, then it scuttles away. Deimos is quick to run after it. "THANKS (Y/N)!!!!" He screams just when he runs after the the quacking creature. 
You watch Deimos sprint after the chicken for several minutes until he finally catches it. He looks on at you with pride while he jogs back to you and your buggy, presenting the farm animal in his arms. You applaud happily when Deimos reaches you. A grin toothy grin you love so much back on his face where it belongs. 
"You got this fella for me?" He asks, and you confirm with a nod. His grin grows large in a nearly impossible way. Your little plan had worked after all and Deimos is a happy guy once again. 
___________________________________________ There it took me long enough, I hope you got this request as I appear to be shadowbanned for the time being (until I get a response to my message to the support team)  Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this.

Your werecreature au has been on my mind, so I figured I’d let you know that these guys have been fully developed! They were only really speculated about by me, but after that, I didn’t want to miss the chance of making some established characters in this universe. Enjoy!
⭐️The Rockstars⭐️
General Information
They were originally meant to serve as backups to more popular predecessors. Over time, as the other bands split off or dwindled, they finally became relevant.
Could they even call themselves a band? They were just a group of young weres in a desperate situation. They’d all claim they bonded against their wills, but they lie.
When each of them realized they were getting more than they signed up for, they all tried to run. Unfortunately, most didn’t find any hope of escape…
Some of their species may not line up with the famous characters they were meant to resemble. However, they are just similar enough to work.
Rockstar Freddy
Age: 19
Bitten at: 18
Species: Spectacled Bear
He was an ambitious young entrepreneur who was left broke and desperate when his ideas got rejected. Then he received an undeniable offer…
It looked like volunteering for a study on the surface, which was easy money in his book. Next thing he knew, he was a were, and had to adjust to his new life.
Despite being the youngest and least experienced, he is the self proclaimed leader of the band. The others really only let him have that title to make him feel better.
Rockstar Chica
Age: 30
Bitten at: 24
Species: Buff Brahma
When she was human, she was a ring girl in an underground fighting ring, but also served as the referee. She had taken down weres twice her size with ease for years.
Being bitten always had an appeal to her, as a way to take her MMA skills to the next level. The transformation only made her bigger, stronger, and deadlier.
She’s a kind soul, but that comes out as fierce protectiveness. If you mess with those she cares about, there’s very little besides death that can save you.
Rockstar Bonnie
Age: 27
Bitten at: 22
Species: Blacktailed Jackrabbit
He used to be the young underboss of a coveted criminal organization, until they convinced him to undergo a test to prove himself worthy, which left him like this.
While he loves his vintage music, the cheap guitars are also good for bashing in skulls. He is careless with these guitars, knowing his real gem is safely tucked in its case.
This is one of those people who believes he was born in the wrong decade. He’s a total Greaser style wise, and has the New Yorker accent to fit.
Rockstar Foxy
Age: 28
Bitten at: 25
Species: Maned Wolf
As a man, he was a drug dealer in the black market, known for his lax attitude and lack of affiliation. When he got roped into a bad deal, he met the same fate as the others.
He’s taught his green macaw named First Mate all sorts of tricks to steal, spy, and infiltrate. The two have never gotten caught, and are thick as thieves…literally.
Determined to keep following his own moral compass, he secretly goes against orders if they don’t align with his values. Nobody can tell him what to do.
Lefty
Age: 22
Bitten at: ???
Species: Sun Bear
They were bitten young, and tried to escape whenever they could. They ended up losing their right eye while transforming due to lack of access to medical care.
The moment they finally managed to get out after so many attempts, they didn’t look back…until they heard more people were falling victim to this scheme…
All they are to the rest of the band is a mysterious whispering voice on the other end of a phone. Shrouded in secrecy, they try to help from the outside.

I'll edit this later with my own HCs later-

Just two new babies! The new coop was supposed to come today, but the builders had car trouble and I don’t have another free day until next week. But that’s okay because these kids aren’t ready to go outside yet.
The dark one is a crested cream legbar. She’ll lay blue eggs when she grows up, and be about the same size as my current chickens, though maybe a little slimmer. I’m thinking of names for her. She will eventually have a crest that looks like a fluffy head of hair. She’s already got the beginnings of it!
The light one is a buff brahma. She will be GIANT. Her name is Behemoth (I was thinking about WHOPPER SUPREME, but this suits her better). She is built to withstand cold weather, and technically could go out in as little as one more week, but introducing them to the older hens separately would cause more problems for everybody, and I want them to have as smooth a transition as possible.
Most of my chick stuff from two years ago is still serviceable, though I did have to look up a quick DIY waterer on youtube (I’m pretty pleased with it). I have them in the quarantine guinea pig cage for now, and I have two dog crates for when they outgrow that.
Behemoth seems to have adjusted right away. She’s wary, but she is vocal and loves cuddles and figured out the difference between food and bedding after a few tries. The cream legbar seems a little fluffed up and I haven’t seen her eat yet, but I haven’t been watching them all night and I’m hoping she’ll do okay if I lower the heat lamp a little. We’ll see!
