Do u have any pics of the parent birds?

The crest can come in late sometimes, but you are right about the feather pattern being off. It is highly probable that a non-spitz fertilized the egg from which that chick came from. I love genetics & figuring out spitz genetics. We've got a couple things going on here: silver/gold color and...

Sometimes the spitz roosters have really fun personalities, that combined with good looks really makes it tough to stay detached. He certainly is a cutie!

Looks like a roo to me

The silver rooster could be split gold spangled. Then he could throw gold pullets like this. Otherwise there's a sneaky chicken involved, lol.

Take lots of picks & watch them as they grow out. Their colors change so much as they grow out that it's tough to know how they'll look until they're big. I haven't seen gender differences as color concentration. Sometimes the pullets will have bigger, fluffier crests than the cockerels, but...

Felt like my fingers were going to freeze off taking this pic, but had to document my crazy spitz who have been outside scratching around all day. Weather.com says it's 16 degrees but feels like 2 degrees w the wind chill. The spitz don't seem to care:

Beautiful chicks! Thank you for sharing!! I think that light almost solid cream light chamois chick happens with chamois x chamois because the standard chamois color has heterozygous dominant white (I/i) which just covers the spangles. When a chick receives 2 copies of the white gene (I/I) you...

There are several good spitz breeders in TX. Try the spitzhauben FB page: https://m.facebook.com/groups/139043868362?ref=bookmarks

Is it possible to keep both hens? The one w the fluffy crest does have nice spangling, especially across her wings.

That's a fancy couple

She's beautiful!

Valid concern. I gave them zip tie anklets to keep track of them.

I had a couple with webbed toes early in the year. I thought it was bc the eggs got too cold prior to incubation, bc it was 2 unrelated chicks. The toes were easily corrected with a scalpel and some cornstarch. The chicks were sold as pets & haven't hatched anymore with webbing since...

Gorgeous!!

Great pics!! They all look so healthy & happy!

Love the video! That's fantastic. And your spitz girls are really developing nicely!! I'm sorry to read about Cuddles. There are always a couple real special ones who weasel their way into our hearts. She was very lucky to have such a devoted & interactive human. Hugs to u & ur family.

Fun! I bet he'd make a great roo for an Easter egged project!

Very interesting looking! What is the cross he's from?

Looks like a girl to me.
