Here's his dad.

His mom is either the white female with some black and brown head feathers, or some shade variation of gold duckwing (I had a hazel, roan, strawberry or regular when he was hatched)

Looks like a combination of dun on top of dominant white, maybe a single copy of dominant white. On his chest where he shows the white feathers, is indicative of dominant white because dominant white covers black, but not red.

My mention of dun is speculative, because I don't know if you have dun genetics in your flock.

Blue mottled BCs in the market bulletin. I was told I have plenty of chickens right now. Just yesterday she told me how she missed the buddy birds. (Cockerel pen) I think some little BCs would fit in the buddy bird pen, especially since it’s empty.

Do it

Where would the dominant white come from? My initial 4 birds were the father and 3 matching hens that were all clones of a proper gold duckwing. No white on any of them

Were any of them blue gold duckwing?

I don't think so. Lmme find a picture of what one looked like. Certainly none as obvious as Moonys are.

This is an unrelated hen, but it's the same coloring that the first 3 were.

I did have a blue chipmunk this spring. It got taken by a racoon though a few weeks ago. Sorry it's kinda hard to see, I didn't think to get more images. But it's noticeable compared to its siblings, of which both seem to be growing into varying shades of the duckwing. Their broody (so likely) mother was the roan.

You just wanna pinch her little chicken cheeks!

It seems like the white hen would be the mother. If you have any white chickens that you didn't hatch (so you wouldn't for sure know their genetics) it's p ssible for that white chicken to carry dominant white and be recessive white.
I had that happen in my flock, the hen appears to be a very clean white hen, but when bred to a solid colored cock some of her chicks are coming out dominant white colored.

Nope. The Whites all came from my original 4.

I have one that may be another of his sisters, but I'll have to wait and make sure they make it to feathering before getting my hopes up
