Oh, and last but not least, this is a new photo of "Butterscotch". Butterscotch is one of two "Pumpkin" colored mottled roosters. These two roosters hatched from Aloha lines are both a strange all over orangey color. Not one trace of black, anywhere. In the background are two pure Speckled Sussex hens, for size and color comparison. Larissa has the other pumpkin-mottled rooster at her house, he's in a breeding pen with a few Sussex hens and a few really nice (but small) Aloha hens. We are hoping to reproduce this color but improve size and get rid of the gray legs. The fact it has shown up twice now on these two roosters is promising. "Butterscotch" has more white mottling than "Pumpkin" but otherwise they are pretty much identical.
Check out his gorgeous orange tail. So unique!
