The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

[MysteryChicken]

I’ve got an EE hen that appears to have a little bit of mottling on her, just her head and muffs. She wasn’t always like this, it showed up in her last molt, I believe, and she’s five years old. Is this really mottling? And if so, would it be dominant or recessive? I can get better pictures if necessary

I have an EE hen with blue spots on her head, which just seem to be some out of place coloring.

If you ever visit the US again, sometime. I'll try to have some Malay Hatching eggs for you. Just couldn't do something like that this year thanks to a Turkey that killed off a couple of my ladies.

I will be staying here for a long time...

Good to see posts from you again, Nicalandia! Welcome back to the States as well!

Do you know if faint stripes similar to wildtype e+ striping on a chick that should be E/E (but could possibly be E/E^R as well; she's out of my silkied Cochins who hatched alongside the E^R/E^R cockerel I posted a while back) mean anything? She's got a lot of yellow overall compared to the others so I figured that the stripes were just a coincidence because of that, but was just curious about it.

@nicalandia, are there dominant vulture hock genes?

Both of the birds had a D'uccle as a parent.

I am already there...

Who is going to be the first to offer me some of their hatching eggs?

If your ever in Arizona I'd be happy to give you eggs. Oegb spangles or crele, Olandsk dwarf, ayam cemani, aloha, or silver spangled hamburgs down the road (those are still chicks). Also call ducks, silver pied or Java green peafowl if in season.

Yes, volture hocks are dominant

That's what I thought, thanks.
