If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

i'd say they do. otherwise they might be gold laced but they wouldn't have white feathers.

Welcome to the Zoo! 2 Morgans, 2 Minis, 1 Standard Poodle, 3 cats, 3 pet birds and the chickens.

Dorkings and bantam Cochins mostly, with a few others here and there.

And of course, my wonderful Hubby, who puts up with me and keeps me in check when I start to get crazy.

It certainly could be a gold laced/Mottled mix. The white tips are coming out from the mottled sire but the color on the feathers appears to be a gold laced dam. I haven't had any come out of my MF/Mottled crosses that have that coloring on the shafts like that pattern.

Here she is! She's raising chicks now :)

i'd say the chicks are possibly a partridge split to mottled then. you could get calicos next generation but it shouldn't show up now. that white will go away when they molt.
