Hey everyone!
Recently I’ve been trying to figure out the genetics and family tree of my flock (a somewhat impossible task but I am invested) and one of my hens has brought some confusion. My chickens are of no particular breed and she’s about 18 months old. What’s confusing it that she kind of has two different looks on either side of her body.Her feathers on her left wing have also always looked odd. I’ve got some recent photos of her and some from when she was a pullet. I’m not entirely sure she has ever laid an egg which is also strange. My flock has crow-wing and extended black in their genetics, and for awhile the black has extended further and further on the newer hatched crow-wing hens, but my hen here is just a bit strange. I can give more information if it’s needed, any ideas are very welcome.
