Tailfeathers:
Well folks, I\'m baaaack!
Just thought I\'d let the Old Timers (and I say that with the utmost affection!) know that I got another one of those birds like the one pictured at the beginning of this post. In fact I have two.
These aren\'t marked the exact same way but are darker like the previous one and one has large blotches of black througout it\'s body. The same has an almost complete black tail.
I don\'t know why I didn\'t think of this before but I will have to check their toe punch to see if they\'re related to the previous birds. What I can tell you is that I hatched out over 150 WBS chicks this year and these are the only two that showed up like this.
So I\'m just figuring that it\'s some kind of a special conglomeration of genes that just happens from time to time with this variety. Anybody else working on the WBS that is finding this?
Btw, on a side note, I noticed that I have a Wheaten Cockerel this year that turned out with white in a couple of primaries. Never had that before at all. Go figure.
God Bless,
