[pekin queen]

Mottling comes in way before 5-6 months this one was mottled View attachment 3072795 the mottling is suppose to get better after every molt is what I heard
This is that same pullet now View attachment 3072798

what you have are not "real mottled" with them being clearly a mottled crossed with a different colour (so not mottled) so the affect is different (so it comes in earlier then in a true mottled chicken) and also your chickens are gorgeous

so i am right abut them not being 'true mottled" or what ever you want to call it what i mean by "true mottled" is like a black mottled chicken like on my pro file picture or like a buff mottled or blue mottled so a single colour with white spots.

that colour should be standardised if its not all ready its so pretty just saying

Mottling is white spots. They can be on any other background. You are referring to the specific variety “mottled” which is a black mottled bird. Mottling in genetics is much more broad than the variety.

So the birds above are all “true mottled”, they just aren’t all the mottled variety.
