What other colors do you have? I also have a Red Duckwing pullet.

Can you please keep it at the P.M level. Its kind of hard to keep up with all of the post not being Actual Questions. Thanks.

Sorry. I don't do much chatting here, but could go into a PM.

I have a Crested Cream Legbar chick that has white/pink skin, rather then yellow. How does that happen, with a yellow skinned breed?

--wrong genes (from a cross, probably recently since the wrong gene is a dominant one)
--not enough yellow & green foods in the diet
--adult hen that has laid many eggs (because they lose the yellow pigment gradually as they lay, and get it back gradually when they stop.)

Didn't think bleaching would effect the offsprings skin color. Goober's mother has bleached out her yellow pigment due to laying, but still had Goober which had yellow skin .

No, I meant bleaching would affect the hen herself. For a chick that is too young to lay eggs, or for a male, that explanation does not apply.

I just included it (but mentioned that it applies to adult hens), so the information is neatly together for when someone else has a similar question later.

Okay, that confused me.

True.

I see it like that of the pied Peafowl, or Quail.

I sort of feel like my Olandsk Dwark birds look pied like the quail version. I know they’re still more mottled, but just seemed close

They're definitely pretty.
