Even in Chile folks are talking about the leghorn bred in, and the barred rock and the brahmas...so there too, the stock is becoming outcrossed. A lot of the birds from Nicarogua are rumpless, bearded and black breasted reds. Many are black skinned. Some stocks from Mexico are blacks, black skinned and rumpless and bearded. Some are tailed. Quechuas in southern areas traditionally laid yellow/brown eggs, grey eggs, greenish with white spots, and even greenish with pink spots. Blue is dominant, so a lot lay blue now, due to crossing with araucana types. If you tell firefox to accept Spanish as well as English, then search on gallinas Mapuche, you can get a lot of the Chilean sites. Click on translate this page and it's not too bad. Google translator is built right in, and it's readable. Back to the colours of chicks...the black with the brown face might be birchen AKA brown red. the white chick with the balck eyes and slight hint of grey around the face is probably recessive white on over extended black or birchen. Hang on, I'll go back and look, I have a VERRRRYYYYY slow machine, so have patience please.
