None of the Royal Palm poults that I have had ever had any markings on them until they would start to develop black markings on their wings.

Same here but I have read or heard it somewhere just not sure where or if it's even true.

It's not really a stripe. Just a small spot. I can't math how a sweetgrass would come from two Narragansetts. If they both are bb1 Ccg nn (n-) they could potentially throw royal palms. Otherwise she has been jumping the fence to get in with the red sweetgrass.

I'm not saying it's a Sweetgrass, just that Sweetgrass have a "stripe" on their backs. A spot is not a stripe but that still doesn't fit in with any Royal Palm poults that I have had had.

I haven't heard it anywhere but I am never on Facebook.

It's a mystery. I'm not sure I will keep it and grow it out or not. I'd like to, but I don't want to accumulate too many.

Found where I read it this is from porters on description of Royal Palms. Poult color/pattern at hatch is yellow downed with or without a single black strip going down it's back.

I highly doubt the hen hopped the fence to get in with the red sweetgrass in the goat lot. She got in once when she was broody and couldn't figure out how to get back out. But I can't rule it out. It's possible.

Too late for that.

That seems like a good possibility that's what the poult is then. I've always said the hen looks like she is carrying cg. This more or less just proves it. She looks a lot more grey than other Narragansett hens I've seen.

I have never seen it in mine but either it can happen or that is a typo on porters' info.
