The Moonshiner's Leghorns

[Painted Calls]

My hands itch.
I need to hold a baby chick, STAT.
OVERY, HELP.

Better?

And they all have two copies of barring?
He doesn't look like my barred and mottled but I had one that was more white then usual and he ended up being a mottled gene carrier.

Other cuckoo chick.... a lot less white

When was the last time you had chicks?

 

[The Moonshiner]

It looks like the one has two copies and the other only has one.

All my cuckoo chicks so far have been very dark compared to this one

Little bit hard to see in this pic.... there are 2 cuckoos and a black.... and something for Mare to feast her eyes on

Is that breeding pen just cuckoo's?
