I have a mixed flock, but this one’s unique?

Somebody on Facebook said if she had vitiglio she would have different colored skin where her white feathers are compared to her brown feathered head. I checked and all the skin looks the same.

It’s sunny here today so I took more pictures of eagle

Haha nah. Chicken skin is either white or yellow (barring fibro birds, of course.)

Poor Eagle must be getting so tired of being prodded and photographed, lol!

These are my last remaining ones I need to label in my flock. I apparently had 24 chickens total.

“ N” or “Q” is one of our original roosters and who I think is most likely eagles dad? I didn’t realize I had three Roosters that all resembled each other. Two of the three are decendants of the oldest “Q” I think is the oldest which would be more likely the father of “Eagle”

Can you guys tell by pictures which one is oldest between “N” and “Q”by chance? Let me know what you think…

This is my opinion, N or Q are the sires and O or V are the mothers.
The reason for that being, Eagles' main body "appears to be dominant white" which is a normal color for commercial Leghorns. N and Q are both peacomb which is dominant over single comb making the pullet a modified pea comb.

Dominant white chick down is the one with the black spot on the head.

This appears to be dominant white, colored feathers scattered throughout the white.
Typical variable pattern dominant white characteristics.

Modified pea comb points to one single comb parent.

o when I’m hatching eggs currently from the suspected parents look for a chick with the black spot in head? As that could be one similar to “eagle” I want to make sure I’m understanding correctly?

Yes that's right. It can be on the head or anywhere else on the body, but it should be a yelow chick with "a" black spot and even potentially a few black spots.

Perfect thank you!

Could "I" be part Vorwerk chicken? They have dark heads and light bodies, but more of a black and buff combination.

Chicken people on Facebook are...... challenged. Take what they say with a grain of salt.
