I have this chick that came from a paint and black pair. I know it’s partridge colored. I’ve seen something about dominant white gene having mutations. So both my paint and my black have carry the eb (partridge) gene. Cock is Black but Carries both silver and gold. Hen is paint? This chick looks grey? Blue? Is this Smokey? Chick has light skin and eyes, slate legs with pink soles on feet and tan toenails. I’ll post pictures of parents and the chick in question.
