Okay so I have no clue about genetics and possibly any answers you give me will go right over my head, but here it goes. I bought 6 chickens from TSC. I know now (they are 20 weeks old) that I have 3 barred rock hens, 2 RSL/PR hens and 1 rooster. The rooster in question is not white like other RSL/PR roosters I have seen pictures of. He looks like a New Hampshire Red with a few white flecks in his under coat. He also has green in his wings. Assuming I am correct in saying they are either RSL or PR chickens, then the rooster has a recessive trait in coloring? Is that possible? Or the only way this happened is the poor guy got mixed up and got in with the RSL pullet bin and I picked the only rooster in the bin? Also, TSC only had bantams, BR and RSL/PR at the time I got them. It was their first day Grand Opening. I have younger pictures of him on my BYC pages. TIA.
