Mottled... or not?

I think I picked the perfect name for him

I just went out and I saw him from the back... all of his wing tips are white.. I will try to get a pic..

He could also be a recessive carrier showing his gene.

Yes, you have 1 splash and 2 blue Laced Red Wyandottes pictured... I see that. But I’m still thinking WhoDat’s cockerel is just black. Beautiful either way

If he was blue... this is what the coloring would be more like (**NOT MY PICTURE**)

Thank you! Your right, beautiful either way. I kinda like the leakage too makes him look sophisticated w wing tips However this furthure makes me believe dark blue, w lookn at those extra dark feathers on top. Yes he is still young, but thats exactly how the blue comes out in our blrw feathers when young thats why i posted it as an example.

I think I picked the perfect name for him

Yes you did!
