I have baby pics to. Muscovy is indeed doing the rooster wing span hackles up side step at me. For a bird lucky to weigh a kilo she sure is fiestyView attachment 2887336

@Pyxis no chance you'd have an article hiding on chicken colour genetics?

Haha, no, but what are you wondering about?

Our buff orpington (from a reputable breeder) have given us chicks with this colour. I only have google to compare to and was expecting perfectly orange chicks, but they all have some form of blue through the wings, and half have the head markings. Is this just something that can happen or is it some sort of leakage from somewhere in the breeding?

Well that's odd. We're positive both parents were buff orps? Also, can you post pictures of the parents?

Buff orp chicks should be solid orange, for sure. Even hatchery buff orp chicks are solid orange, I've never seen a purebred buff orp chick with coloration like that.

Awfully pretty MW.
