Tawny Shortwing

Breed name: Tawny Shortwing

Bird inspiration: Chicken

Class: Shortwing

Subclass: Standard

Overview
Tawnies are surprisingly spirited for shortwings, often having strong opinions about where they should go and what they should do there. They are, however, excellent at both producing and successfully raising large clutches, averaging 3-4 hatchlings per clutch, and one clutch every 1-2 years. This being the case, several well-known shortwing breeders have attempted to cross tawny mares with mellower, stronger, or more colorful shortwing stallions.

Coloration and Conformation
As their name implies, tawny shortwings are primarily yellow, brown, or tawny in color. In addition, they are unusually fluffy, with thick feathers along the hindquarters, chest, and fetlocks.
