Giant Silkie Project.

[MysteryChicken]

@RoostersAreAwesome, @NatJ, what do you think of my yellow chick with headspot? I hatched a blue chick once like this. He feathered out with barring.

The yellow chick is white, so do you think it'll have ghost Barring?

With that headspot, yes I would expect barring. So white barring on a white bird--I assume that's what you mean by "ghost barring."

I’m not the best with chick down, but it does look like dominant white barred.

Ghost meaning barely visible. Technically yes.
