Frizzle Pekin Bantam - What colour will it be?

[JoJonesNZ]

Can anyone help me with the colour of this Pekin Bantam (Cochin) 10 day old chick?

Mottled would be my guess, but I've never had a pure pekin chick, mine were bought as POL, sorry.

Looks mottled, but with the black around the eyes and beak, I believe it will feather out black as an adult.

That's wheat the black chicks look like. Plus most hatcheries usually only have red, white and black offered

 

[Chicalina]

what about the white feathers on the wings and feet? Will they change to black do you reckon?

Yes. After the first molt.

That's really interesting!

I'm enjoying watching my current lot of chicks to see what colours they will develop. So far, blue genes have been the most interesting.
