Is Biscotti’s coloration up to standard?

[TinyRaptorDodos]

I plan to find at least one pure Swedish flower hen this year for Biscotti. Biscotti is (supposedly) a pure Swedish flower, I want to figure out how much I can sell their chicks for based off if his coloration is correct or not… I’ll add the hen when I find one/once she’s fully grown if I find a chick.

I know NOTHING about color genetics so if you don’t mind dumbing it down for me I would love that!

These are the best pictures I have at the moment. I can get more tomorrow if needed.

They have no standard. They're not an accepted breed according to the APA.
They also seem to be more of a Landrace rather then an actual breed.

Yeah, as long as they have mottling, Swedish Flower Hens can be any color.

The rooster does appear to have mottling, but not very much of it. Is there a preference for more obvious mottling? If so, crossing to a hen with large amounts of mottling (maybe "too much" white) would probably help to produce chicks with an in-between amount.

I for sure like the mottling so I’d imagine there is a preference for it. Thank you! I wouldn’t have thought of that

Google will translate the page for you; it's a bit clunky, but still comprehensible, and there are some lovely photos.
