Is mosaic the same as chimera? Twin DNA? That was a theory I hadThat's really weird.
I think he might be a mosaic, just both parts have the same color but different feather textures. Do Silkied Pekins exist? Silkied Cochin bantams (the equivalent to Pekins everywhere except UK and Australia) exist but that doesn't mean they were imported.
Recessive white can occasionally have colored feathers pop through but I've never seen a fully colored feather. Still, Pekin bantams are never dominant white so I expect he is Recessive White nonetheless, unless he has Silkie ancestry. (Silkied Cochins don't have Silkie ancestry, it popped up spontaneously.)
I expect his chicks would probably be black barred but really any pattern could be hiding under that white.
Silked pekins do exist but aren’t very common
It is maybe possible he has silkie ancestry
His colour is leaky with a few patches of brown sprinkling and of course the barring, so I thought dominant white because it’s known to be leaky
I’m very excited to find out what kind of chicks he’ll throw though, what hens should I pair with him to best see his colours
These are the girls I have
The white looking hen is lavender partridge
