Yes she does, but doesn't express much and has been lightening.

Keep us updated with this girl, I am really curious about it.

I remember Pie as a chick, he also had a bit of fm.

As an adult your can't see any fm in Pie at all, under his feathers he MAY have a couple of freckles on his skin but that is all.

Yes I know that, seems like his daughter is following him. But he does have a bit darker red skin then normal to my eye.

That is very likely, I have so many in my flock that are fm from just slightly to full on black skin I don't know if I'd know red w/o fm influence any more.

Now you can, with cross hens, although they're still young, you can see it's not the same. Yours are more exotic looking!

Yes these first cross hens will be w/o any fm at all, but their offspring will have an fm daddy. Oh and I don't remember who asked but found out the cross girls are about 8 weeks, I assigned them a hatch day of May 1st so I can keep up w/ their age.

Are you going to breed them with last year's boy or the one you pictured with them?

I think that I asked about their age, are the other chicks also that old?

And are crosses from crosses going to make some Nn? I think that your scaleless has the Nn gene, right?

I had 3 bcm and 2 dark brown NNs together. when I brought a salmon faverolles and a black sex link pullets one of the bcm cockerels immediately attacked the poor faverolles. I ran to by other pullets, 1 almost all white and 2 buff/light brown so they got used to different colours. the crazy cockerel didn't bother with the black sex link at all.

Yeah like that. Could be her color or her beard..

I used to have a NN roo that would attack any non NN hen.. so many NN in my flock it's the "normal" lol

@kev
I found another thread called Ginger Reds and Opal.

Typical comments on Opal.. very all over the place and "resistant" to accepting it as a new mutation just like recessive white, barred etc due to not a good handle on genetics. No real information. I remember several of the genetics geeks getting a little frustrated with this also.

The plan is to breed them w/ Stripy butt, it is impossible to know if he is NN, Nn, or nn , he could be any version.

They are the same age as the younger chickens in the pics, Beautimous is in some shots and she is older
