Some hidden genes.
Mike Gilbert:
I don\'t think I\'ve ever seen chick down with that pattern. The white head dot probably means barring, but the big white spot on the back??? No clue, sorry.
Guest:
Bigger? The one in the upper right has the same pattern, just more subtle shades.
It has great, dark shank color for a day old. I guess its just another I need to grow out. LOL
ETA: I\'ve gone back through the older posts; one of my chicks with this pattern has feathered identical to John\'s May 8 update. Judging by the shape and color of the eggs, my guess is mine are coming from a B/B/S hen under a white Ameraucana roo; though possibly from a white under the same roo. At this point, the B/B/S hens had been seperated from any other male of any color or age for approaching 5 weeks; I doubt they came from any other than the white Ameraucana roo.
Guest:
I think I\'ve finally figured out sizeing.
Guest:
Here is one of the two chicks, now 5 days old, that I thought were hatched proper recessive white; I noticed today that it has the same pattern, but hard to see because it\'s very white [silver ?] over greyish white.
The May chick is feathering kinda smoke and white.

I had a twin to that one that I sold along with 106 other culls on Friday. I fed him/her long enough.
