Pekin bantam colours

Thank you! If he was barred wouldn’t there have been a white spot on his head? Or can the spot be very faint?

I'm going by the actual white bars on the feathers.

Barred chicks generally have a white spot on their head, but not always (example: Cream Legbar pullets are barred but usually do not have headpots.)

reminds me of Isabella colouring?

he still is very pretty

black with red leakage? Do you think the white is going to go away?

Also black with red leakage?

Thanks for posting those pictures of those gorgeous birds!

They all look to be various mixes of colors, not specific standard colors with names, but they are all really pretty!

I'm guessing the white may stay, but I don't know for sure.

Thank you! I am really sad I can’t keep any of the males

They’re beautiful! The first cockerel and pullet are black with red leakage and probably have one copy of the mottling gene, the light cockerel is an isabel cuckoo, and the last cockerel is a barred/cuckoo buff columbian.

i think chick one is milleflur i have one that looked like that wen she was younger or it might be partridge and i dont think chick two is barred it might just be a very bad stranded milleflur or i t might be something ells
