Quote: That is an extra toe. He has five toes on each foot and sparsely feathered legs.

Quote: I like that breed!

Quote: I'm going to test his coloring this spring. If it's crele, then his offspring should be crele (I've read that you can cross crele with black or light brown and still get crele coloring). When his daughters mature, I'll be able to tell ya what color eggs they lay. All this assuming I...

For a size comparison, here's a picture of him standing next to a dark cornish pullet. One of my cubalaya cockerals is behind them and further back is a gamebird mix bantam rooster.

Quote: That was my guess too. I was thrown by the lack of black/purple skin. Maybe a SilkieX with a Crele OEG? I tried to research Crele genetics and got way in over my head!

Quote: Beautiful! I love it! Thank you AZ!

I love your work. I admire from afar! I dabble a bit with PSP8 but I haven't had the time to sit down and work on anything of late.

Quote: LOL, bet his looks a lot like mine is and is still a good-looking fellow. Thanks for sharing your picture!

Quote: Be my guest! I was gonna resize the pictures for an avatar but the asphalt & light background really washes out his coloring when sized down.

aww... he's a cutie! I love the poufy heads! What's he look like now-a-days? Maybe one of their birds went a visiting with some other birds... But the red walnut comb & wattles... Just strange.... He's not yet a year old, so when he goes through moult there's no telling what he'll look...

Quote: lol, the farm & ranch store gets a lot of mixed breeds. It's probably part of some special deal that Atwoods headquarters makes with Ideal Poultry. Some would lable him a "top-hat" I guess, but mostly that term is used for the crested breeds.

Quote: I just got him this year, so he hasn't fathered any babies (yet) for me to know if his offspring will have any of his coloring. I'll know more next year. I call him Lil' Dude.

I was thinking his coloring was called crele? Or no?

Quote: Thank you! I'm definitely keeping him to add some color to my black bantam population. Plus he's just lovely to have. He's not flighty, but doesn't like to be touched or held.

I got him from the bantam straight run bin. The farm & ranch store I got him from gets their chicks supplied by Ideal Poultry. As a chick he was completely silver with black eyes and lightly feathered legs. I have my thoughts on the breed mix, but I wanted to know what you guys came up with...
