I can't see the dark feathers well enough in the shadows. I rarely ever look at hackles though. They're much less evident than saddles, and a lot of hens get funky hackles.

Here’s a better picture, are we still thinking rooster?

He is a mottled Java, correct? I have a pullet if you want to see the comparison.

Oops. Posted mine at the same time! I would guess mottled Java.

Thank you! Just curious I know it’s not a great picture of them but do you see the brown hens in the back, what breed do you think they are?
