I'm no expert, but i'd say they were mottled since mom was - I love love love them & the lacing!! I hope to be able to add some different colored JBs to my group of BTWs to get some awesome feathering

They are not a recognized color, the pattern is more of a lacing than a mottling.  When crossing them, you will get a variety of different color patterns, depending on the genetic combinations.

That is what I find so fun about my Japanese Bantams.  I like to let the roosters mate with whatever hens they like.  Then its exciting to wait and see what the chicks turn into.  I got some lovely surprise colours.  If I want to get the 'recognised' colours I just put the proper colour roo and hen in pen together.

I'll have a few Mottled cockerels at the Sussex NJ show tomorrow for sale if anyone is interested.

I just have too many. ABA banded, but not SQ.

Nice short legs!

Pretty long legged. Also, white lobes are a disqualification.
