Black To White Experiment

[MysteryChicken]

Found his feathers, I kept pretty much all of them. Will take pictures in a few. His white maybe a fluke, but he sorta followed the pattern I'm seeing currently with the ladies. So, I'm not 100% certain with him.

Some of Butter's Feathers.
Not the best pictures.

Will update about my birds, & when I begin breeding.

Will answer questions until then.

The experiment's purpose is to try to figure out what's going on. If more of these are produced through breeding, we'll know it's a genetic mutation for sure.

She turns 4 this year, she's like a year younger then Dino.

Do you have any males that are of the similar breeding as Dino and Chameleon. That would be your quickest way to find out, through the offspring.

No, males. The only Male I had was the Chameleon Hen's Brother, which I culled along time ago. He was Barred/cuckoo, with some leakage, but only kept him for 6 months.

I'm gonna be doing a repeat breeding of Smarty Pants(Mother), & Dino(Father), so I'll most likely hold back a Male, or two from that, & see how they turn out.

He's in the back of the cull group.

Dang, that looks pretty spot on for how Mack is going, but more in his hip and butt area than on his head. (Maybe it's because he's a lil bit of a butthead right now. Teenage hormones, you know. )

Yeah, but this is where it gets weirder.

Cockerels can be buttheads, that's true .
