Chocolate Wheaten F2
« on: May 21, 2023, 11:50:19 PM »
After setting many many eggs I believe I have 2 or 3 chocolate wheaten chicks. They're just starting to feather in, but it appears that they have chocolate in their wings. I also noticed the down coloring on the ones that have chocolate appears to have a rusty reddish tint to it, which I was not expecting. ^_^ I don't know if it's realted or not, but I'll find out as I hatch more, I'm sure. ^_^

Keep us posted! Looking forward to watching your progress.
True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.

My growing Chocolate Wheaten chicks, I definitely have a chocolate Wheaten cockerel and pullet. I thought I had a mauve wheaten pullet as well, but now I'm not so sure she isn't actually a cockerel. Only time will tell ^_^
