Nicalandia can explain the mottling gene better then I can. So, you can get a better idea why the chick is that coloration.Oh! So cool! Sooo, the first one is out and she looks mottled. I know you said she could not be but she looks like she is. And yes, I know I am not supposed to help but she had been trying for over 24 hous and made barely any progress. It is my first hatch so another one is shrink wrapped and the membranes are just to tough. It is making me wonder if I should check the other ones!View attachment 3497396
