Looks to me like an older bird that has started to go white.

x2 I think they're pretty when they get the white in. I saw a pic of somebody's who'd got so much white she kind of looked like a dalmation.

she said they are spring hatched birds.
so not a year old yet.
im thinkin its just mismarked since she has white, chocolate , and gray birds.

Hmmmm....that's young to be turning white then. But not totally impossible.

If the breeder had white birds they could be hiding that pattern (white mixed with another colour).

CG, you can try and make magpie calls by breeding your magpie drake to your black bibbed hen. it may work...
