BAMA/mottled . What color will he Be? UPDATE on color

[~SunSetsWest~]

I love the intrigue, with each molt he is like his own box of chocolates

He's been fascinating to watch. I hope he doesnt turn solid black either, but I dont think he will.

 

[MissPrissy]

If he keeps molting like that he will look like an entirely different rooster. This is a mystery gene!

He's still a very handsome roo. It will certainly be interesting to see how he changes over time and if his offsrping do the same as him.

 

[Tuffoldhen]

Isn't this the same way that mottled hen did when she molted and everyone couldn't believe the change in her appearance? He is handsome whatever happens with him.

 

[BamaChicken]

Yes Sandy, you are correct. I don't want him to be all black though. It is so amazing to me that the feathers can do this.

 

[KKluckers]

That is strange. Will be nice to find out the gene it is for sure. Im sure he'll be gorgeous black or white/black Julie. Is his mother molting right now? I wanna see what happens with her too.

How interesting! It's like a reversal of the Vitiligo gene in the Smythe, Brown line of Leghorns! Neato!

 

[BamaChicken]

Mikarod please explain. Never heard of this gene. Or are you just kidding.
