John:
Here are some chicks now in the mail and on thier way to NY.  There are buff, lavender, silver, wheaten and black ones.

Mike Gilbert:
John, I\'m seeing head spots on your buff chicks.   I thought you had been culling for that for some time now.   Does this change your e-locus theory?     For what it\'s worth, I crossed buff with partridge (in Chanteclers) and the chicks do have a semblance of striping and head spots.

Guest:
Ahhhhh, too cute !!!! Lucky owner....

John:
No.  I hadn\'t noticed the \"head spots\" before.  Here is another shot of those same 5 buff chicks, from the side.  The majority of buff chicks still don\'t turn out looking this good.  Maybe next year...  
I think what we are seeing on the heads is the same marking as most wheaten chicks.  Since they are both wheaten based, the black line, spot or mark that the wheatens have may be a darker shade of buff on a buff chick (?).  The camera flash made it stand out.  

Guest:
aaww someone is getting a nice little easter present.
