Chicken Coach~~~~~~~~~ All mine turn black as well, but there does lurk the mottled in Black Javs,
And requires breeding 2 birds that both carry this gene.
I hatch alot of eggs, and have every so often a chick with orange legs & very light down, some with just a black bit on it's back...these light babies may even have light brown eyes.
IF I took all these and penned then together, we would get alot of mottled Javas !
They may all be black with dark shanks at adult plumage, but the gene lurks.

YES!!!!!! I've got Black Javas again, 14 of them! Thank you ChickieLady! (Sorry for shouting, can't help it.
)Java and Buckeyes are my main breeds. I also have a RIR quad, Bantam Araucanas and two lonely Silver Sebrights hens. 2012 will be a big production year, and it's been three years in the making.
