@kurby22 where you got the word chickening from ,never heard it before today . I like it .I’m so sorry you’re feeling bummed out Chickens can definitely be a challenge…lots of frustration and heartache. Maybe take some time to re-evaluate what you like and don’t like about chickening and see where you stand. I always try not to make big decisions when I’m feeling really down and defeated…as I always regret it later. I’m feeling frustrated myself…I’ve been losing chickens to some phantom illness (finally figured out it’s a vitamin deficiency) and my heart just can’t take the losses :-( I feel like a bad chickener…:-( hugs
yes they are .But they’re so pretty!
You might ask @nicalandia or @NatJ what genetics are causing that incomplete lacing--seems like it may mean something but I wouldn't have a clue haha.Why does on two of them the chest lacngs two different colors? This one View attachment 3288831and this one View attachment 3288833but this one has the same color lacing throughoutView attachment 3288834

But thats the thing....their mother looked the same way lolThat is one Amazing looking hen, basically a Black/Very Dark Blue lacing on breast... But light Blue/Grey lacing on the lower body and back.
I have not see such bird in my life, my only conclusion would be that the hen is actually a Chimera, two female embryo combined at the earliest of development and one was bl+/bl+ and the other was Bl/bl+.
Chimeras are more common than what people think, first because most breeds are homogeneous and most of them are of the same sex(same goes with people, many people are walking chimeras and will never know)
