She has been broody for a couple weeks, so I think her lobes are more pale than white. For barred olive eggers, not too concerned about lobe color, just barring enough to sex the chicks at hatch, and dark green eggs. Secondary traits like beards and clean shanks optional. They are not supposed to be Ameraucanas, just barred, and lay dark green eggs is my main goal. Clean legs and beards optional but preferred. Thanks all for the input. I don't recall if she feathered fast or slow. I raise a lot of chicks and to be honest, from this cross, (single barred gene roo) I was only looking for whether the chicks, the ones with small spots on their heads, developed into roos or hens. I don't recall any slow featherers, or bare backs in this bunch, now that I think of it. Probably feathered out normally. Don't know for sure though, as it was not a concern at the time. Just wanted some barred pullets and a double barred, bearded, clean shanked roo. Got my wish enough to hang in for another year. Got a bunch that did not make the cut either, and they went to other homes.
