This is my first experience with game chickens but I was blessed to be given three roosters and sixteen hens of course I have three seperate coops. But I am in love with all of them. They are all my pets. They let me pet and some will let me hold them. But I know now I will never have another breed of chickens. They cluck at me when they see me coming and I enjoy every moment I spend with them. I am currently incubating 41 eggs due to hatch the 11 of next month and I cant wait to watch them grow from a baby

This pullet a lighter variant associated with linebreeding back to Hen A. As chick such birds do not stand out and males are much harder to discern other than they are "White Hackle-ish". This condition appears recessive with test matings being made now to confirm and for closer scrutiny of chicks and juveniles. The same allele appears important in promoting the Hen B phenotype where that female is likely to be heterozygous.

Image below enables comparison of same pullet to a closer to wild-type half-sister (right) by another sire that does not appear to carry light colored allele. Second pullet is also a product of linebreeding. Photograph not best but coloration difference most obvious in it is the salmon colored breast of bird on right is largely lacking on the variant.

That's not one of them flarry eyed greys or whatever they're called?

Flairy Eyed Greys are toppies but their eyes are red & normally have slate blue or dark green legs. They are very heavy bottomed
