Sorry. This was supposed to ask about silver and white, not black.
I have a bad habit of BYCing while sleepy… Some people embarrass themselves by drunk texting, but I prefer to embarrass myself by sleepy/blurry-eyed BYC posts where I type the wrong words, use bad grammar, and sometimes even...
@NatJ Thanks for clearing the up. Is there a way to tell the difference between splash and blue with a lot of silver? Would both of his parents have had to be blue or splash in order to produce him?
What, if any. Is the difference between black and white?
Here’s the 2 Biele mixes again. MJ...
This is the chick’s [most likely] dad, Citronella. He’s a home hatch mix breed. I think he’s splash, but could be wrong. His mom is blue, and paternal grandmother was blue, too. I suspect he got 2 copies of the blue gene which becomes splash (if I understand this correctly). His body is white...
I will be sure and let you know. I expect this chick to be splash. Dad is splash. Mom is a white EE with some faint patterning/lacing. I don’t know what her color would be called. This pair has produced other splash offspring. They looked similar to this chick, but not as loud.
These chick’s feathers have pretty wild color patterns. Is there a way to tell if the stripey wings are barring or just loud chick pattern?
This isn’t a Biele mix, but is it barred?
I hatched another Biele mix a few days ago. This one is lighter than the 2 previous ones. But I don’t think I see a white head spot, so it’s probably a girl, right? Can anyone else see something I can’t?
So my chick with the darker markings on the head seems like it has a be a pullet. The more muddled chick does not have any obvious white spot, but does have some patches of silvery type down on the head (not quite where the head spots should be). So I'm thinking female for this one, too, as...
Sorry it was Autocorrect. Apparently I have fat fingers this morning, lol. It should have said Orpington. I’ll edit the original post.
What color would this head spot be? I’m not making any drastic decisions based on gender at this point, but I’m that person that can never stop guessing- even...
I have 2 Bielefelder mix chicks. Mom is Biele. Dad is a black mix of mostly orpington. I believe this means the chicks’ colors are sex linked since Bieles have barring?
Am I correct in my thinking and can anyone tell me what traits I should be looking for to tell the difference? I have 2 this...
