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

Chick down indicates recessive white.

After hatching several thousand chicks including the color varieties of dominant and recessive white, do you think we would have an "eye" for chick down when it's very important to the breeding program?

Perhaps, but…
This is hen that had the gold feather.
She isn’t really a red pyle, more of a salmon breasted white.

I don’t think anyone knows what causes the red breasts in an extended black based bird, but they are definitely dominant white.

I gotta agree. I've got a ketwa that same color and red Pyle is the last thing I'd call her. She doesn't have the rest of the Pyle markings

I don’t think anyone knows what causes the red breasts in an extended black based bird, but they are definitely dominant white.
I read that write-up all the way through. The write-up is using dominant white, I am coming from the perspective non dominant white and of what I have experienced personally. My experience with the salmon breasted birds comes from my own experience breeding it. I can breed two non white birds together and get salmon breasted females and as this article noted the males never show the salmon colors to the extent that the females do. In my case it acts the same as the normal recessive white except for the salmon breast and in that it doesn't show up at all unless it has two copies.
Also in my case it can't be dominant white because dominant white always shows when present. In stating my case I'm not going against the experiment done by the article in the Poultry Science write-up.
I have a feeling that we may be on a slightly differnt playing field in that the genes we're looking at are enough different that we aren't connecting.
I am going by what I have personally experienced, not by what someone else has tested through experimental breeding.
It could be that the genes that are being discussed here are two different genes. What I have stated is what I have personally experienced by test breeding for my own learning and benefit.
Carry on. :frow
 
Absolutely
In this photo, she obviously has a muff. I can’t remember if we established the father and whether he has facial hair or not. If not, you need to look for that in the mother.

I don’t believe Eagle has dominant white. But if she does, there is still something else going on to cause that sharp delineation between the white and the head.

Yes, my pullet very possible. I was talking about @SuperiorFarmsGirl's bird.
It can get very confusing when folks other than the OP start posting photos of their own birds and a side discussion ensues about a different breeding program.
Too not fill up the thread, we can continue the discussion in a Conversation.
I like that you started another thread and put a link to it. :thumbsup
 
That’s possible. Or maybe their eyes are glazing over scrolling through pages and pages trying to see if the OP has posted an update. Could go either way.
Count me as one who was enjoying and learning from the discussion. But I can definitely do the same from a continued discussion in a new thread. 🙂
 
Exciting news!! I separated “eagle” in a dog crate inside our large coop. She is now laying!! A blueish green egg.
