Thank you for your clarification of genetics, that is very helpful! This is so interesting to me, and wow! I can't say it enough, you all have some beautiful birds. I could stare all day!

Ooh, she's pretty. I have some with similar coloring, but also have some mille fleur patches on their chest, from my jubilee project. I believe it is due to the pattern gene.

but where would the pattern come from? does it just appear? I do not know much about chicken genetics. she can go to someone if they have a project going on. otherwise she can stay here and lay eggs. when she hatched they said it would probably molt out but it looks pretty permanent to me.

I've had that happen so much it isn't funny. I've been trying for a year to get a couple pullets for mine and finally I have some. Now the wait is on for them to grow up.

Wow very different! She is very pretty! It will be interesting to see her mature more and go through a molt

Another BYC'r on here showed me a young pullet and I swear it was a partridge and now I'm really thinking I may have been right but, only time will tell.
