Mosaic chickens

[MissLavender]

Do the blue ear lobes show up from birth or does it show up later and if so at what age?

The blue earlobes develop as they mature. I have one Mosaic pullet whose earlobes are turning vivid green!

This is my Mosaic cockerel now. He has all of the traits that I'd want in a Mosaic! Pardon his tail, he just finished his last baby molt and they're still growing in.

Also, all three of my Mosaic pullets are laying now, and thus far they're PHENOMENAL layers!!!

They're still teeny-tiny, cute little pullet eggs!

Love it, I don't get pullets. I mostly got cockerels. I hoping to get some pullets anytime sooner. The pullets I got were blue or black, I don't know why.

Are my pullet mosaic or not? I have been breeding ayam cemani for 15 years. Last year I got a fully white rooster and this year I got this little pullet.

In conclusion, I do not inbreed my ayam cemanis. Every 4 years I have to replace a new rooster.

AC were here long before GFF imported and introduce them. After all, these 2 little fellows came in single comb. Hope to be a cockerel and a pullet. Have fun guys, I'll keep update.

@Chang1993 I know it's been a while, but I was looking at this thread again and realized your pullet and chicks look a lot like hmong chickens. Do you have any hmong? Maybe they got in with your ayam cemani and got their genes mixed in.

@RoostersAreAwesome I use to breed hmong to thai, hmong to shamo, and hmong to assorted bantams. Ever since I started with AC, I never cross them into hmong. Somehow on the way, I think I got a hmong pullet in mistake as an ayam cemani pullet. When you crossbreed them up, they actually comes out in different colors and patterns.

It sounds like your white birds are part hmong then. That would also explain the pea comb.

@RoostersAreAwesome I have two breeding pens of AC, first pen was AC rooster with Hmong and AC hens. The second pen was full AC. He actually hatched under an AC mom, he was the 2/10 hatched white. His siblings were 8 black and 1 white pullet. The hmong hens with the other rooster didn't even comes out white. They comes in black breasted red, barred, and black. To keep them, I save the 2nd an AC hen and an AC/Hmong hen and the full AC pen white rooster. Now, thats where the mosaic chicks comes in, but I have plans for adding a turken and a frizzle polish pullets with the white AC rooster.

That explains it. They're not mosaics. Their coloring is like mosaics (you can call their coloring "mosaic", though it would be a bit confusing). However, birds like those might have been used as the foundation stock for the mosaic project.
I researched hmong a little on byc, and I think they look pretty cool. Their variation in coloring is especially interesting.
