It is interesting. I have had several black Ameraucana chicks come to me this year and have noted some that are all black, some with a white mark on the side of the face, some with face mottling, some with white/yellow chest/butt fluff, some with a kind of grey fluff, a few with black wing tip feathers, but most had white wing tips of sort 1-3 feathers worth. I also have a black chick with a grey head.

--- Quote ---It is a LF and has a stripe of white/cream down on the left side of its head. The rest of him looks pretty much the same as his siblings.

I sold this guy at a swap meet this morning, but took a few photos yesterday to show how he feathered out.  He has some white showing in the black feathers in the area that had white down and a slight amount near the base of his tail on the same (left) side.  

Beth C:
Interesting - glad you kept him around until he feathered out.

Birch Run Farm:
Neat!  I wonder if he could be used produce mottled birds?

John:
FYI, here is a black chick with a brown/gold stripe in the right side of it\'s head.  This is similar...but different...than the chick with white/silver on it\'s left side last year.
