Homozygous dominant white fades red at least a shade when compared to heterozygous white.

Really? Huh. My two heterozygous just look cemetery different in pattern to the homozygous, so I figured it was because they were almost Jubilee Cornish because of the lacing.

The chick seems either Wheaten or e+ and dominant white

Weirdest dominant white I've ever seen. What's with blueish/gray tones though?

Will be doing a repeat with Laughing Chicken eggs, plus I bred 007 to a Sumatra, & a little partridge colored hen for a test.

Hi...

New question...

These two FBCM chicks have the same father and mother... can some one explain why the left one is so much lighter?

They're 7 total, that's the only one like that....

Thats interesting..

Thats interesting..

Why?

I've had chicks with little differences in colour as per normal but never with completely white shanks and beak. And such a lighter overall colour.

This just seems interesting so I thought I'd share it here:

If a chick happened to have a mutation or something else and had a partial 3rd foot, would it definitely face forwards like the real two feet, or could it have formed to face backwards?

I had a chick that I ended up losing, but his back toes were so long and his scaling was absent below the back toes unlike my normal polydacyls, so my mom was thinking he might have had partial foots instead of the toes.

I can attach photos I have of the feet after I found him deceased, but they're not super great.
