Snow geese are moving through now. Guess I'll drag myself outta bed tomorrow around 3 am and hope they brought some ducks with em. Gonna have to break a bit of ice most likely. Supposed to be around 20 or so.

Pullet in full feather. Other looks about same sept toppy not as pronounced.

She's cool looking. Since I never saw a toppy in person u think or know she's full game. Just cause I'm not familiar with them I'm NOT being a smartazs I like her

the only thing that could make it any better is fog and a drizzle, keep them low

I have been told by the seller, whom I take to be reputable, that she is full game although a cross between strains. Toppy part is not new to me, it is the color pattern that is new. Seller indicated cock the pullets are out of is a white muff. I take that to mean he is solid white. The muff part is outside my experience although flypen posted a pic of one a few weeks back that is kin to the cock and is solid white. Based on what teller told me, the toppy side (hen) was a red (most likely wheaton). When I met with seller's father a few years back the toppies where grey (silver so straight) and based on female side where wheaton as well. That means to me the toppy side might be diluted so less than half.

Ok, so the father was a white muff, and mother was a red (Wheaton) toppy.

Nice
So, let's say u breed her to that red male (eventhough she's for brooding) would or could u get red toppies?

 

[sdm111]

Are they heavier say like a grey body type

Id say Centra your Toppy is a combination of Flarry eyed grey ,vizzard and the White Muff game and since all those are To me kinda Rare ,shes just a mix of alot of genes,,,My Toppy hens can come white ,,, yours got a lil fluffy type build where mine are more stream lined ,ive had grey hens way back that have the Fluffy build.

The pullets are well muscled but dainty weighing little more than 4 lbs. Breast is not as full / broad as mine.

Regardless to what I breed her to on my yard, she will throw fifty percent toppy and fifty percent not as mine do not carry the toppy allele.

The white part I am not confident in as I thought she would be solid white rather than having the black tail like a wheaton has. My guess is 50% of her offspring will be some version of white. Of those that are not white, half will be wheaton. She appears to be hiding something besides the wheaton under that white so may throw other colors too. The color may also be dependent on color of cock bred to. For fun she will be bred to the cock below.
