Leaky Lavender?

<< < (3/3)

HarryS:
I think Mike was on the money with his conception of a lavender mottled.  You can see one that went off on RareBreedAuctions of a large fowl Orpington. 

dak:
Mottled chicks have a very distinct tuxedo pattern.  I'm sure John would have noted this at hatch.  probably just a variant of leakage. 
The two chicks on the left are Mottled (Black and Blue).  The two on the right are split to Mo. They hatched from eggs from Joseph Woodiel. 

Mike Gilbert:
I'm not so sure the difference in chick down would have been that noticable in the lavender variety.  But I agree the wierd colored birds are probably not mottled.
