I have a dominant white rooster, pekin bantam, I really like this colour and the combos it makes but the rooster is very flawed, body shape is all wrong and he has a messed up wing, I hatched two chicks from him to test if the white was recessive or dominant, and I hatched two roosters, one had wry neck and neurological issues so he’s automatically out, but the other is perfectly fine
What I want to know is if the father of the rooster chicks is safe to breed with, or if I’ll get more wry neck chicks, or if that’s chick being wry neck was coincidence or something else
Would I be better off keeping the original rooster or the son which has no issues yet put isn’t pure white
Dominant white I’ve heard is very rare in pekin bantams so I doubt I could find an unrelated one easily
Below pics, father and mother of chicks and the two chicks
