New Chickens

[fuzzi]

So a while ago I was talking about these white chicks we have. I have talked to some other breeders and I think they are right because it is the only real explanation.

So exhibit A. Breed of mother. Not the real mother but the same breed.

Exhibit B. The father. Black Bearded Silkie and not a good pictureView attachment 3542368
And finally exhibit C. The chicks. Genetics are so confusing.

I am not a fan of Silkies, but I love your chicks' little crests!

Are you sure the mothers were Mille Fleur and not Golden Neck?

Because Golden Neck d'Uccle x Black Silkie would be expected to produce offspring like that.

Certain. I do not have Golden Necks.

I have named the ducks Duck Dodgers, Launchpad, Daffy, Darkwing Duck, Donald, and Scrooge.
