That's a splash cock that carries the lav gene.
His poor wing looks a mess in that pic because he freaked out on the ride up to the show and was flapping all around his cage, banging his wings against the bars. I literally had to pull over and have my son hold him to calm him down.
By the time we got him in the show cage, his wings were a mess.

So far, one "mystery color" because somehow I accidently forgot to mark one and didn't realize it till I brought it in with the others, 5 bl/sp, 2 buff, 1 white, 1 black, 1 porcelain, and 1 calico, so exactly 12 collected so far!
I sold a trio to downsize, since they weren't giving me any eggs all year, so I thought I'd keep my best trio for showing. Then my 2 best hens died! Mites! Dang it! I loved them so much, and now they are gone. I did not see the mites with my poor eyesight. Not until the birds were dead. And I regularly treat my birds/pens for mites/lice! They are so bad this year. I miss my Rainesha & sweet Jezebel!
