I think it's like that because it's leaking over the proper feathers, like a wound would

What even causes leakage is it just a genetic thing?

Throwbacks were desirable for the pit. They always did good. Total opposite of what's regular, wanting to cull it out

Exactly. It's not breeding true if it has "leakage "

Thats the kelso
That's the grey
That's the cochin

At least down yonder. We've never said
Leakage.

Whatever was responsible for the "leakage"

That doesn't make any sense. What if you don't know ow what's responsible for the leakage?

Usually if you breed a bird with it to another bird, the chicks will have it to varying degrees. At leastnin my experience, and not always.

Extended black with birchen genetics explains the color in the hackle or saddle.
Wheaten or bbred could behave the same way.

I think my Ameraucana rooster has some yellow leakage. Or maybe he is just dirty im not sure I have to wait for him to molt

The expression of "leakage" will probably just become enough of a norm that in order to be understood by the masses we'll have to adapt.

Are you able to show chickens that have leakage?

They'll be DQ, if not heavily faulted

If its bad it's a Throwback

Oh I can't stand the term Throwback. Someone one on here has ruined that term for me.
Everything they have eventually produces some unique or one of a kind Throwback.
