The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

Well, she doesn't look that pale for a white bird to me, either, but you said she was in molt so I assumed. I think I'm just going to see myself out of this conversation, honestly, because I can see you've once again decided you have some rare genetics going on when there's a much more obvious reason for this and I really just don't feel like arguing about it.

Molt with new pictures, not in molt with the older pictures.

No, I was sharing what I think, or possible theory of what Maybe, is going on. Only way to know if it's something weird genetically is to test breed.

No argument intended.

If I breed a heterozygous dominant white to another heterozygous dominant white, I'll get some chicks that have none of the white genes, right?

Yes.

You should get about 25% homozygous for dominant white, 50% heterozygous, and 25% with no dominant white.

Awesome, thanks. Still trying to decide who I wanna use for my bantam pen. Contestants are: gold neck D'uccle or (together) a pheonix/buff laced sebright and a polish/gold neck D'uccle. I have a polish/gold neck D'uccle pullet that will be there too and she's part of what will be helping figure it out.

Yes, 25% of them

What causes this facial pigmentation?

What causes this facial pigmentation?

Possibly the same thing as what gives some mosaics their blue skin, if the video is real, of course

I'd wager, based on the general weirdness of the colors in that video and the sketchiness of the channel, itself, that video editing software is what caused that facial pigmentation.

You think a filter was used?

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

More likely simple color editing. A filter, I imagine, would have distorted the background color more. It's not terribly difficult to do depending on the programs you have available to you.

Sent them questions about the video, hopefully they get back to me sometime today, or tomorrow.
