Got the Mottled Orp hen I think

[BamaChicken]

Tonya, I am not sure about the White. Right now I am trying to take some of the white out of offspring considering Specs whoe backend of feathers turned white. He as you notice in the pics had more white than mother.
Sandy, I don't have the mother hen in with the rest yet. She is still isolated for two more weeks. I will definitely band her.
I am not getting that many eggs right now. I got none yesterday and one today. I try to ship Thurs thru Suns and put Mond thru Wed in Bator if I have any. I have some eggs due to hatch in the next week or so but I think most of them are marked with the Blue or Splash pens

I have two cochin pullets, their mother was a mottled and the father was a white, they both came out mottled.

It is a genetics calculator.

Tonya that is for really smart math people. I don't have a clue which way to go on that. Thanks for sharing it though cause i am sure there are lots of people on this board who can jump right on it and tell me what to expect out of my mottled roo out of mottled black mating, over two black pullets who are out of totally black parentage.

You are welcome. I am trying to find a website to explain it in terms that I can understand, and maybe have a cheat sheet to print out.

Sorry my post was off topic.

don't ban hen's legs!

back on topic, no, she's not the same hen.

It seems unlikely that it's the same hen. Mottling shouldn't just vanish like that. As far as white and mottling, mottling is a recessive, so your white *must* have been carrying the mottled gene to produce mottleds.

Bawk?..Why wouldn't you want to band her leg since she is changing color so much after molting to make sure you have the mottled hen?

I have my pullets banded with colored velcro to make sure I know which hen I hatched from who, so I can switch around with my two roosters...

Just curious....
