LOL! I've had the same problem with my blacks. That mottled just won't quit.

Looks quite interesting on a wheaton, though.

I have a really nice wheaten male, who carries mottled. He passes it on to most of his daughters, and when I breed them back to him, kapow! I don't think my other wheaten carries it, so I'm considering crossing daughters to the other male next year. It will either help get rid of it, or spread it throughout the flock!

HE'S AMAZING!! love the S on him
have been watching the spat about malay and american and i've given it some thought, i really like the american seems more balanced and a nicer bird, but i will admit i have malaysian serama envy. ok slap me if you want the malay is what we started with and we need to keep our american birds close to that, it would be like making a banana into an orange (ooohhh im gonna get some feedback on this) The Malaysian do have faults and American breeders have been given an opportunity to improve the overall breed, not just breed to make money off eggs and more chicks, but truly to improve their flock. If we just breed for the sake of breeding then we are taking steps backwards, putting out vertical non-conforming birds or the extreme ayams are pointless for the breed. We chose this as OUR breed for a reason and keeping to that will improve the quality. Its all about quality not quantity.
