OEG Bantams... What color are they?!

Fawn duckwing? But their faces and legs look dark for that color, so I'm not sure that's correct.

Thanks, I am curious because we hatched chicks from them and 2 have the duckwing eyes, and 2 do not.

Okay, the chicks in the sleigh might be the cutestt thing ever!

I only have one OEGB, and she had the eyeliner and chipmunk stripe as a chick. She is a BB Red though.

They are Dun.

So, either way.. why do their chicks not all have the duckwing eyes? For some reason I assumed that they would all look the same. One that sadly didn't make it was almost silvery grey.

The parents are Birchen, but are Split for Duckwing.

What does that mean?

They're Birchen, but are split for Duckwing. They both carry one copy, but don't show it, but the offspring does.

Birchen is also known as Crowwing. This is Blue, but not Dun.

Also your birds are looking alot like Aztecas, not OEGBs. Possible crosses of the two though.
