As an aside... I used to raise wheaten OEGB and would sometimes get a white sport from them that look like your white pair.

I know where my cock is from 100% and seen his offspring every bird was like him but came in either yellow or white legged. His hens and his offspring females were either spotted or had a faint shade of red/Wheaton in neck and a few places here and there.

Now the hen is a family set by a fella that called it his "kelso" line so obviously some grey has been added at some point. The bull stag I have is from the same line as her they are related but no relation to my brood cock.

It's all interesting and what not and white can cover just like a table cloth letting you believe a pure white bird is white but underneath it's totally not. That being said no real concern as their two different families and this is the first stock out of em. The main concern is how the offspring matures which is by far the best aspect to focus on.

There's a black that's looking to be hatch colored, but like you said, no concern of mine.
Havoc and Rudy both showed me the blacks throw hatch from time to time.

Rudy's blacks throw minis sometimes too. First time I saw a mini was on his yard when I picked up the hens and It was funny.

I like havoc's blacks aswell as the hatch colored ones no matter the color they are darn good chickens. He takes extremely well care of all his birds and even his wife's ducks lol.

Speaking of black hatches...lol

This last clutch of blacks has hatched oddly. On Sunday I picked up 4, Monday I picked up 3, and today these 3. The hen jumped back on the remaining 3.

Who the heck is Rudy?

Do you not let the hen raise the biddies?

Looks like the tempers are flaring up in this brooder.

Hens lay eggs while the other is brooding... happens to me all the time when I have multiple hens in same pen.
