Yellow
You volunteer to go first this time, telling Kim to press the yellow button once you're in the machine. Smoke surrounds you again as the changes start. Your feathers split into separate hairs, then curl into a woolly coat that covers your neck and torso. Long ears appear to match your long face. You have lips and teeth again. Your talons become hooves, your wings arms, your fan-shaped tail a stubby lump of wool.
"I can see you're a sheep," says Kim when you emerge from the machine, "but are you a ram or a ewe?"
Unfortunately, under all that wool, you can feel that you're still female.
Kim sighs. "Well, at least we've still got four more buttons to try."
"How many charges?"
Kim looks at the control panel. "Looks like four - and there's a one-hour timer running, so it'll probably recharge then. You can try a few more, unless you want to stay a sheep."
