Black To White Experiment

[MysteryChicken]

I like the color on #2, but that's just me.

He is flashy, & will look more so when he starts getting his adult plumage.

Well if you want to replicate the hen you have, I'd go with whichever male appears most like she did as a juvenile

That would be #1. But any color would do, they just need to show specific traits.

What stands out most about each, that you like currently?

Gonna keep for maybe a year possibly alittle longer, to see how they turn out/mature. Also to watch if they start changing color.

#1 stayed where you put him, which indicates he could be easy to handle, plus I prefer the clean barred color. Colorwise I prefer #3 over #2. I do think ease of handling is important, but that could all change as they mature.

Oh, okay.

Both parents have a very friendly personality, which seem to pass on pretty well.
