"Calico" wheaten
Mike Gilbert:
I'm sure there is an explanation, but I would not waste any more space, time, and feed on them.

Yes, John and Duane, this appears to be a variation of the same thing. I'll have to Google "mosaic mutation" and see what I come up with. I find it interesting that this "mutation" is so wide spread.
And Mike, I agree. I won't be spending too much time, effort, and feed on those two birds but, I do confess, I am intrigued by why these things happen and what they might do in the future.
God Bless,
Russ:
Chris those silver pullets did not come frome my stock did they?
Paul:
We have had one wheaten pullet similar out of thousands since 1999.

Thanks John. I Googled it and went to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I think there was more Greek in the first paragraph than my Spiros Zhodiates Dictionary/Lexicon! I couldn't read past the first paragraph because my eyes kept rolling to the back of my head. :o
