She was hatched from the original grey roo and hen. Some are telling me that the mother hen wasn't a grey, but a red. She wasn't a brown red, or red quill, I'm fairly certain of that. They're in the first photo in my earlier post a few pages back.

That little ivory hen with yellow legs has color like it's mother underneath all that white, which makes me think she's got the paint gene. But I'm just stabbing in the dark here as I have no experience. I'm just a googler.

I can't rule out white was not dammed by a white bird as well. Grey could have come from sire / cock side alone. Did you not have some picks of wheaton hens a few post back.

Parentage for me on hen side not certain unless she is penned up or no other game hens are present. Cuckoldry is standard in chickens.

I get that, but it sure is nicer dubbing pea combs.

In my first set of pics a few pages back there's the grey cock on the porch and the ivory grey pullet with its mother hen together in a pen. Those were my original birds. So I know the Ivory hen's parentage, I just don't know the history of the parents. I later purchased the new stag and 4 pullets, the blue, the brown red, the red quill, & a wheaton that got killed when they were all in the woods. Don't remember posting the wheaton here. The stag came from a different farm than the 4 pullets.

survived overnight winds... crossing my fingers today while I am at work.

If it's game it's tough! Mine survived Hurricane Matthew recently. They all came out of the woods and started roosting on my porch a couple nights before the storm. That wind was brutal but they toughed it out. They tried to roost on the porch after it was all over but I put a stop to that. They've survived some pretty nasty storms in the trees, too.
