I wasn't sure because no one mentioned it. I thought maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me. But how totally cute!

Yes- it's a little cuckoo marans chick. I tried to get her this morning they were crawling all over her back. I've got that trough in the house and every time we go up the ladder to the loft she can see us and starts growling.

Hi! That's interesting! Thanks for 'speaking up' for John.

pips&peeps :

Jeremy, John does not raise white birds. The bird you received was a "packing peanut".
If you read your order form it says "anomalies do occur". I believe he has gotten a couple of these "anomalies" from his black pen over the past year.
ETA: I got one last year from him, it will not feather in pure white. It should end up having alot of grey feathers, not quite a splash, but not what I would call a regular white.

pips&peeps :

I don't think it is recessive white. Mine was a cockerel and he is long gone. I think you will find yours is a cockerel too.
Most of these weird white mutations have been cockerels. There has been talk that there is a third kind of white floating around. I don't know the specifics, but briefly remember something said about it.
If you remember there were some white wheaten varieties that popped out last year too.

Wonder if they would make something special if the 'similar anomalies' were mated selectively? Or are they just unattractive?
Curious,

Lisa​
