Still have my melanistic fellow..he's almost colored out completely...still has his black spots and is healthy
It was my yellow back hen with orange head and the green spots on her back that I lost
But this new melanistic fellow is not related and unlike my other one was parent reared. My first was a tossed one that I handfed.
The new fellows parents are both Red Head Purple Breast Normal green back. This chicks will be a RH PB GB also ...we will see how the black on this one turns out.
