It may have been a little confusing. I showed the two birds I got a pair from. They weren’t that good. They hatched Chase and Chloe, who of which lived to be one and two years old. From there, they hatched the last two birds, Cashew and Casey. I think you may have confused Chase and Cashew as the same bird, and Chloe and Casey as the same bird. The current generation is only just getting their flowering in. They will be fully feathered around two years, and probably gain all their flowering in at around three years. Sorry for the confusion.

oh no i understood that, i guess what im trying to say is as your generations go on youyr hens at least dont have much black to go with the white so you keep getting a birds that almost resembles a wheaten mottled. i would bring in a heavily patterned mahogany boy or a heavily patterned hen, or use a black mottled boy over the hen to improve pattern.

Okay. Yeah I see. I agree with that as well. I plan to breed to a well typed mottled in the future because of that.
