Need Advice on Wheaten Pullet

<< < (2/3) > >>

Paul:
The first set of pictures I would cull the pullet.  The last set of pictures the bird needs more time to develop.

Don:
I agree that the last two need more time to moult out to see what you have for sure.  How many other pullets do you have in addition to these three?  What about the males, are they feathering in normally?

      ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I corrected the internal link, so there is a bit more discussion about the silvers, but it seems about like similar suppositions in the more current link.  It one of the discussions a bird was grown out and never produced eggs.

Harry, it could be the result of Mosaics like was mentioned or some sparse version of the   (Pg+Ml+Co) genes as you mentioned.

Andrew, are you feeding anything unusual (hormones) by chance at this time?   I would just put this one aside and see how the others feather in for now.   

HarryS:
Would this be from the Pg gene?  Would have been nice to see the day old picture of the this chick's down coloring.

Andrew Johnson:
I do have other pullets. The 2nd pullet is 10 days younger than the other two. I would guess if I had to put a percentage around 90% of this batch had bright yellow down.

HarryS:
Andrew, did they have spots on their heads of the day old chicks?
