[Poultrybonkers]

Tolbunt Indian Malay. Old pictures, but he still has his spots. He's actually has more spots now.View attachment 4286799View attachment 4286800

He has some massive feet lol I had blue but changed to black because the white was hard to see with the blue

He has yellow legs the hens have white

Yellow is supposed to be recessive to white.

So if any hens carry the recessive gene for yellow legs, breeding those hens with him will give you some chicks will yellow legs. The other chicks will show white legs but carry the gene for yellow legs.

If any hens have only the genes for white legs, breeding them to the yellow-legged male will give chicks that show white legs but do carry the gene for yellow legs, so those chicks have a chance to produce offspring with yellow legs in later generations.

The hens have white legs from the original cross I used which was a speckled Sussex over a Wyandotte but that Wyandotte came from brinkhaven and there breeding birds are all white legs to. So it’s prolly not worth trying then
