Oh my gosh that is too stinkin cute!!! Sure hope it keeps em as it grows out! Would make for a killer roo!!!
Idk it is super weird. Breeder said she had never had one like this happen before. I can tell her upper portion of wings are starting to grow this past week but that's it...still floof everywhere else!
And this is one reason I prefer to hatch my own...I know exactly what environment they are brought into but I guess if it is genetic that wouldn't matter at all. She'll be 4 weeks old on Tuesday and still looks naked!

When u say it needs 2 copies to show...you mean the mom and dad must have the recessive white gene in order for the chick to be recessive white too?
Am I understanding that right?
I an excited to see I Joey or Bluey have the recessive white gene since they are from same breeder...and we already established Daisy is recessive white.
Would love to get more recessive white babies!
That really is so strange she has so little feathers still, I'm stumped. It's good at least there is a little growth, I hope eventually she catches up.
And that is correct about the recessive white, both parents must carry at least 1 copy to get recessive white chicks. If Bluey or Joey did end up carrying it and you breed them with Daisy you should get 50% recessive white babies from the pairing.
