Good night.

After a year of continuous failed attempts, we managed to get four offspring of Gould, a possible mutation.

On 20th of July. the first 4 were born, they are now with all the feathers, but have not seen anything from the mutation of a parent, to wait a little more to make the complete change,

We are being monitored daily with pictures, is not something expectacular, but this amused to see how they grow in a few seconds.

Here I leave the link, hope that one of the 4 go with the stain of the father and if so, we will continue working on them.

Greetings to all / as poultry farmers

Very nice pictures of the young. Hopefully when they moult you will see at least one of them with the white spot.
If you get any young with the white spot how do you plan to breed them on to try and get more showing this spot?
Would you breed the young hens back to the parent bird?

Cuadros muy agradables de los jóvenes. Esperanzadamente cuando mudan usted verá por lo menos uno de ellos con el punto blanco. ¿Si usted consigue jóvenes con el punto blanco cómo usted planea criarlos encendido para intentar y para conseguir a más demostración este punto? ¿Usted criaría las gallinas jovenes de nuevo al pájaro del padre?

Congratulations. Did you breed him back to his mother? Or to a sister? Or to an un-related bird?

I think if you breed them you will get a mutation. but not the one with the white spot. I'm pretty sure they are splits, and the white spot is a sign of it. I have visited a place where there were a number of these birds, and he said they were splits, and I believe him.

Two of the daughters of my mothers RH/oh PB GB/dilute cock x YH PB GB (from fincher) have these white spots on their black necks. One heavily and one lightly. They are being offered to her YH WB YB as potential mates. So provided he can be convinced he is not a canary :wtf: This season should prove they are split dilute like dad.
