I have ten 10-day-old bantam cochins, and I have a question about color. They're feathering out fairly well on their wings and feet. Some are obviously blue. Some have blackish and white feathers in their wings, but mostly dark. Even the two that I am sure are splash seem to have more dark wing feathers coming in than white.
So can blue babies start with white in their wing feathers? Can splash babies have mostly dark wings? Can someone explain how these colors feather in? I just don't know who's blue, who's black and who's splash.
My camera seems to be flashing too much these days. I can't get good close-ups, but maybe these will help.
