I Like Turkeys
Crowing
This red cockerel I hatched appears to be developing barring. Itās a surprise given I didnāt see a white head spot when he was super downy(and still donāt)but iām quite happy with it. I assume itās because his down is so light already. Iām excited to see how he feathers out. Iāve never seen a red chicken with barring before actually.
I also have two mostly-silver chicks who appear to have barring. Given almost their entire bodies are white, itās difficult to tell, alongside the black patterns on their back, but theyāve got the white stripes going through their tails, and in the hackles on one of them. Iāve also come to the realization their father carries the āgoldenā gene(heterozygous for silver) which is why he was able to father silver chicks with the hen i put him with(she has the silver gene as well). Heās a black chicken so itās not visible, but i think itās cool.
