Thank you! I love them, even if their colors aren't standard. Just means I don't need Legbands for them yet

I do love specific color patterns and appreciate the care and dedication that breeders put in to getting really flawless birds. I also think that birds with a mishmash of colors/patterns are pretty too - each one being so unique. I have some birds that I wanted a specific color for, and others that I didn’t want a feather color but a different quality instead. Case in point would be the blues layers I got hatching eggs for. Hopefully this lil’ gal will lay blue, even if it’s a light shade.

Pretty much, also the coloration.

Because a Legbar would be barred?

Legbars are barred yes, but the hen will also produce Sexlinked chicks with half beards. Also they're of Duckwing coloration not partridge.

I would have loved to get specifically cuckoo or lavender, especially bantam ones, but I couldn't find any chicks for sale in those colors, only eggs, and most from EBay, so I figured I would get mixed colors for now and in a few years try again
 
Hi @nicalandia I have another question.
I think this hen is heterozygous for dominant white with the wildtype base, but should her head be white? I know dominant white dilutes black in heterozygous form, but if so should she have had a more yellowish orange colored head? She’s mixed breed, her mother was either a white leghorn or a california white and father looked like a black-breasted red colored male, so i don’t know what other genes she may have.
