Mottled Ameraucana project

The second bird shown is actually not mottled, but carrying dominant/recessive white.

It's basically like a Hamburg spangled but white.

Okay so I just noticed this and why there's discussion on that.



My Tolbunt Polish are mottled and have slate legs. Speckled Sussex have white legs because Sussex have white legs. I really don't know the genetics of what mottling does to leg color, but, my two mottled birds have slate blue legs.

Why did the chicken cross the road, roll in the mud and cross the road again ?
Because he was a dirty double-crosser

Curious to see where people have gotten with their mottleds. This is my 3 month old pullet I'm keeping.
