Okay - a mystery here - at least as far as I'm concerned. A friend of mine paired up an opaline cock with a lutino hen. According to everything I've read the...
I think (know, I know) I'm brain dead Bob. :-) I looked it up on the genetic calculator and it said all the hens would be natural opaline, which threw me. Pat...
