Chirping
Hello.
I have the following chickens that I'm planning on breeding:
1 cockerel, an Olive Egger who was a black downed chick with a white spot.
4 hens, one a Buff Orpington (yellow/white chick) and three Black Jersey Giants (black down chicks with a few white spots).
They look like this now.
(Chip on the left, some of the girls on the right)
I was wondering if Chip's offspring would also have this red/orange color bleed in their feathers ?
Breeding for color isn't my main focus, but it's interesting genetically.
Thank you for any insight !
