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

[MysteryChicken]

I found this in my text messages lol from July from her hatch date but not sure any of these are her. I wish I would have taken more pictures

I think she's the brown chick.

If that’s her as a chick? Does that help explain anything? I’m sorry if that’s a silly question I’m just a chicken newbie and we are certain she’s a She and not a he? Someone on here thought maybe she was a cockerel

The chick down doesn't give much of a clue, so can't give a clear answer.

She's definitely a she.

Impressive...

I am still believing that its the first documented case of Piedbald in Chickens. I don't believe that she is a chimera.

How much do you want for her and what state are you located in? Just jokes but I really think some test breeding needs to be done! I am so curious if this is a mutation or not and how it inherits. I imagine breeding her with Black Ameraucanas could potentially create some gorgeous offspring and if this truly is a piebald gene, you could relatively quickly get some offspring that resemble true Ameraucanas.

I agree that you should breed her to a black rooster, since she appears to express both black and splash!

Before seeing this feather(Circle in red), I was not 100% sure if it was Pied.

But just look at that feather. her entire body follows the same genetic make up(no two Genotype on a single bird like chimeras)

@nicalandia , is it possible it's the same recessive white my pheonixes are, but just happens to have a lot more brown than mine?

tyrosinase-independent recessive white (mo^w) is an allelic mutation of recessive mottling. So far no reports of such expression has been found on homozygous birds(mo^w/mo^w) Heterozygous Mo+/mo^w are solid colored and mo/mo^w express mottling phenotype.

I don't believe it's the same mutation.
