The coolest rooster

Date sort Score sort
Oh wow!!!! That is cool! I think there is a name for that kind of thing. Chamira or something to that effect. Something to do with a double gene..... or whatnot.... Im going to look it up real quick. Amazing bird though!!!Here we go!!!!! I found a link that might just explain your rooster!

Youll have to click on the section under genetics when you get there.

Sounds like he could be a chimera. He is fertile, just had 11 babies. I was hoping for another one like him, but it doesn't sound like it's something that can be passed down to the chicks. So far I think they are all normal anyway.
 
That's really interesting stuff..... could you imagine being told that the children you gave birth to weren't YOURS!!! OMG!!! I'm glad they figured that out...

That is one fantastic chicken!
 
He reminds me of the old vaudeville/sideshow acts where one side of the actor is made up as a woman and the other side as a man. Victor/Victoria anyone?
