Quite common. In my program, I try to breed against that (I should say I WILL...I don't have a roosty for them yet), but it is common due to introduction of production breeds, both in their "native" range and in captivity.
MM, just curious what are you looking for in your perfect boy for your girls?

I have two ideas/plans...one is to beg puredelite to sell me some eggs in the future and the other is to acquire an antique race of rooster, one which slightly predates the Quechua and is part of its original composite. In Resolution's thread on them, there are the pictures of the Desert Isles Fowl rooster, I think I want one of those. The trouble with that is, then I would be self-obligated to also maintain a separate line of those, in addition to my N.A. Quechua, and these chickens are just getting more and more expensive due to such wild-hair ideas of mine.
I smiled when you said marbles was the proud daddy, I remembered him from a previous post and he is very close to my oreo. Or at least what my oreo will be, he is still young, but his coloring is becoming more and more like marbles every day
