Post Phoenix Pics Please

[mopargal1972]

I ended up with a couple pure black hens.  I don't know my colors very well and have been trying to figure out what color roo I should match them up with (maybe Birchen?).  Would a Birchen female be solid black?  For now, I threw the black hens in with a couple blue hens and a blue roo and this morning I just hatched out an all light yellow chick with a small black dot on the top of its head.  I am hoping it will be all white but I wonder if the dot on top of its head is representative of anything?  I know my grizzly barred chicks have the typical white dot on top of their heads.  Does a black dot mean anything?

The pullet in the foreground is a birchen. The one behind her is pure black. What color were the parents of the yellow chick with the black dot? Do you have pics?

Here's my kids new pet. He's a funny little bird. He follows me everywhere. I was told he's a black breasted phoenix. He's 7-8 weeks old.

Cute.

Where did you get him from?

 

[crgalletta]

I got him from my neighbor. We are in Northeast Florida,Green Cove Springs. An old farmer down the road he helps out gave him some eggs to put in his incubator.

Here a pictures of the chick with the black dot on its head. The one next to it is a grizzly barred with the typical white dot on its head.
I also attached a picture of the 8 month old phoenix parents in the pen that the white chick came from. Any guess what it will turn out to be?

 

[mopargal1972]

My educated guess is splash. The bird on the far left could be a splash. I have a splash Cochin with similar coloring.

@mopargal1972 I too show and only silver and golden are accepted still. You can show bbred but it has to be called light brown. It can only get as high as best variety

@dboranch parents look like blue Andalusia but chick will be splash. Blue X Blue gives off 50% blue and 25% black and 25% splash. As for the grizzly I am no familiar with its genes as it is a cross for the genetic hackle and saddle but assuming it has pure genes, you will get a male with the bigger white dots. It's how it usually goes for some barred chicks and black sex links.
