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

My pens are empty, and I had just bought feed and another portable breeding/growing pen a day or two before I lost my flock......................... I guess I\'ll keep mine and see if I can figure out this breeds. LOL With Lavs having the fray, and splash blue producing splash, this may be the future. LOL

An update on my chick pictured above:
They are white.  :p With some of the darkest shanks I\'ve ever seen on whites.
Here is a picture taken inside after dusk, she\'s actually a very clean white pullet. Should I use her or the others to breed?

 

Beth C:
These birds are from a blue wheaten to blue wheaten mating, so I thought at first they were splash wheaten, but at 6 weeks they\'re still pretty much solid white. There might be a few faint traces of reddish yellow, hard to tell if it\'s dirt or not (that\'s dirt on the wing in photo #3). I\'m guessing at this point recessive white?

Korfus Kluckers:
Never seen white chick down like that. The pullet turned out nice though. Looking forward to upcoming pictures.

John:
Beth,
I don\'t see any muffs and the shanks haven\'t started to darken yet at 6 weeks of age from what I can see.  My first thought is a different daddy paid a visit.  If that isn\'t a possibility then maybe your recessive white idea.
