Hmmm. Another genetic thing I won't understand! I have seen lots of references to leakage with red/gold on the body. But white, and on her head? Very strange. I think it is cute though.
It feels a bit like the weird genetics of white on cats. To have white on a cat requires at least one copy of the white-spotted gene. Two copies of the gene gets you a white cat, but any amount of white, even a teeny patch, means the cat has a copy of the gene.
So both Falafel (Tuxedo cat), and Nightshade (all black but with a few white hairs on his tummy) are both heterozygous for the white spotted gene.
Tax: my black with white friends.

There may be technical terms for it, but I still think Calypso is growing a crown. 😁
 
Are you sure you're getting your full order? The link to My Healthy shows sold out? 🤔
Good question! Thankfully, I ordered back in mid February, for a hatch in late March. I'd noticed that the pretty Orpingtons' hatch date selections were going fast, so I ordered way earlier than I thought I would need to, thinking it'd probably be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to reserve them early. I was quite shocked when a week or so after I placed the order, I thought about adding a chocolate laced gold Orpington, but when I went to look, chocolate and chocolate laced gold were sold out for the year! Things are going smoothly so far, I got my second confirmation email this week. Now I'm just praying they make it to the post office and into my hands safe and sound. :fl

I'm hoping for that for you too! :fl
