Barring can be hard to see on blue. So one blue parent must be Barred.
Blue can only show up if a parent is Blue.
Some Blue chickens can almost look black.
The pointy breast feathers on the father of the Ayam Ketawa mix's Father.
There's some rounded ones too, but it's the pointy ones that are interesting, were the main focus.
Father does have leakage in the breast, but he was originally solid blue breasted at 6 months. I don't have a picture of him when younger. Another oddity about the father, that I yet need to get a picture of is his pointy breast feathers. It's like he has hackle feathers on his chest.
My weirdo. Female patterned breast feathers.
He's fast to mature, crowing, & saddles started coming in at about 4½ 5 weeks.
He's OEGB/Phoenix X Ayam Ketawa.
