Why would you beat up a poor elderly man?

No.
That's how the guy looked AFTER Moony took his soul...Jeezuz don't you people know anything?

Looks like I have a mottled gene hidden somewhere in my flock

 

[Chookwagn]

And I have another chick looking like it's gonna be mottled too

You have mottled BCs?
Do you know if these looked like them as chicks?
Two toned, black on top lots of white on bottom?

I have blue mottled BCs
As chicks I was guessing they were cuckoo

 

[Painted Calls]

Hmmm.... Idk. Those look like they'll molt away leaving a solid black bird.

The blacks have solid black feathers right from the start

Mottled should look like they're dipped in white paint. I see a lot of Black Australorp chicks get white feathers like this. BC's sometimes as well.

Definitely update us as this one grows!
