I bred a low white male calico to a heavy black/brown backed normal. Two of the six eggs hatched out calico, but much nicer than their father. They also resemble the mothers dark back. Has anyone hatched out similar looking calicos or do these have potential for something more... Could this be genetic or is it just selective? This is my first time hatching out anything calico and these are pre-shed, day old pics btw. Looking for advice. Thanks.

those are nice calicos, but that is what nice calicos should look like. I wondered the same thing when I hatched these guys out last year. Calicos are just freaky pretty when born.
