Orpington genetics ?s

[Urb sustain]

1st pic blue orp (did not enjoy the flash) looks terrible but actually a well shaped bird. She has 4 distinct feather colors. Blue steel gray brown gray and recessive black(no sheen) what is this color distribution referred to outside of way of SOP. I also have chocolates like this but shades of browns. Very pretty birds. Second pic, jubilee chick platinum white down. Never seen this in a jubilee b4, jubilee chicks generally yellowish some have wild markings down thier backs. I am going to assume recessive white is the blocker on this chick. Jubilee change alot but this chick looks like every pure sheet white chick that I've ever seen. Maybe just 1 in 100,000?

The Orpington is an unlaced blue. So extended black with the blue gene, but no extra melanizers to make the lacing.
The other chick is probably recessive white, yeah.

A fluke on the white recessive or does that mean i have a problem creeping into the line?

It was no fluke, as to whether it’s a problem depends on if you want whites or not.

The Orpington king should be able to help.

My rooster Gus is the orpington king. He always has the same answer, "put her with me, I think I can help you"!
