Sorry i should have been a bit more specific. He is a E/e^b split, from a partridge cockerel X black hen. Had no idea either had mottling.
Being split on the e locus means this boy has better feet and shanks that a pure EE bird, much brighter yellow, but there is yellow leaking into the hackle feathers from the partridge, i suspect this will get worse with age too.
Amy, here is a photo of that cockerel I got from one of your Rascal's eggs. I posted something on your facebook page a bit ago and forgot I was going to follow up with a photo to you. The even-colored light grey, and your comment about only getting blue chicks from Rascal (phenotypic black mottled, probably recessive split black/self-blue) leads me to believe that when you say blue mottled, they may actually be self-blue mottled. I'd love to have a flock of self-blue mottled, they are lovely birds!
