This chick hatched out of a Cubalaya project pen. I wish I could tell you more about its color background. Mom was either a black or blue Cubalaya. The blacks and blues are from a Wheaten flock so the odds are very good they carry Wheaten. Cubalaya-Wheaten, not regular Wheaten.
Dad was a "something." I picked him up as a barnyard mix. Blue Red Duckwing with a moderately low tail, pea comb, beautiful dark to light gold transition on his hackles. They think he had American Game in his background and he had a somewhat gamey personality.
No sign of mottling, lacing, barring, etc in the rooster.
Most of the chicks coming out of this hatch have been black, blue, Duckwing, possibly a partridge, and a Wheaten.
And this. What is this? A chimera? All pictures are on the same chick and out of 30 or so that have hatched so far this is the only one that looks this way.
