White eye

Oh I guess that makes sense

 

[ackie]

I was gunna say you'll be kicking yourself

 

[ackie]

and if any of my hens were split to white, pied or WE, you'd see some white on them as well?

but there's no indication of being split to black shoulder, is there?

 

[ackie]

is this the white throat patch indicating hes split to... something white

 

[ackie]

I also see a little white under his wing and on his legs?

@KsKingBee I threw some more questions out there if you dont mind.

Very interesting! I was going to ask you about this 'cause I have one that has less white eyes than last year.

I have two cocks that only have a few white eyes that are split Silver Pied. They both make absolutely beautiful SP offspring. Every year the number of white eyes will vary.
