Grizzle bluecheck mix+bluebar=?

[MaryOfExeter]

Usually "dark checks" have darker wings than that. Everyone has their own opinion on how much check there has to be on the wing to be concidered a DC. For me, all t-patterns, are velvets, and all checks, whether they be light, normal, or heavy, are just....checks, haha.

[MaryOfExeter]

The blue check doesn't have any grizzle in it. It is pied though, with that white 'tick' behind its eye. Do you have pictures of the dad, or is it one of the birds you've already posted?

[clucklebeed]

Do you mean darker as in more black checks or as in a darker tone of feathers?

[MaryOfExeter]

More black checks.
Darker overall tones are made by other genes called 'darkening factors'. Dirty, for example, can make a blue bar look like you just fished it out of a pile of coal

It's kind of weird he isn't darker, his father was a grizzle. Do you think maybe the bluecheck spread out the grizzle more or something?

[clucklebeed]

Heres a recent picture of mistew, the father.

he isn't in too good shape right now, he popped his eye about a year ago, as partially seen in the picture, and somehow his flights got cut off, but I don't have the slightest idea when or how.

[MaryOfExeter]

Poor little guy. I have had many one-eyed chickens due to fighting, as well as a breeder I have now named Popeye His eye was most likely injured when he was a baby, because it's been small and blind since he was a baby.

Mistew is a pretty boy though I think he is most likely just a pied (also called splash) bird. Usually when birds have heavily pied heads, the white gets broken up a bit, sometimes making it look very grizzled. But if it was grizzle, chances are you would see more signs of it over the rest of the body. There's just this look to grizzled birds, even the ones that are just barely grizzled. And to me, the rest of his body just looks normal.

Will his flights ever grow back? and, heres his twin, Avila. She's much lighter but I think she ended up with more white.

[JGregg]

The flights will grow back with the next molt. If not you've got a problem.

[clucklebeed]

He's been like this for a few months now, and his ability to fly is getting worse everyday. He usually just sits on his egg or lingers around inside the coop because he can't fly.

[JGregg]

Then you've got a sick bird. What do his droppings look like? Are any of the other birds acting lethargic?

[clucklebeed]

His dropping are greenish and black. None of the other birds are acting the same way, and none others have lost flights.

[JGregg]

Have you looked in his mouth? Does it look like there are any growths? Are you treating your birds for canker regularly? I also forgot to ask, is he (your sick bird) drinking lots of water compared to the other birds?

Since your sick bird doesn't fly well please don't let him out of the loft (he'll be easy prey).

[clucklebeed]

He doesn't have any growths in his mouth, but no I'm not treating them for cankers, I don't even know what to treat them with. He appears to be drinking just like the rest of the birds, and I can't exactly control if he comes out or not, We don't really have a very good loft yet. No trap doors, No landing board, and only two perches accompanied by many nesting boxes though only 3 hens are nesting at the time.

[JGregg]

The first thing you need to do is treat your flock for canker.

You should separate your sick bird from the others for individual treatment, and treat him for canker (a general antibiotic too maybe).
