Introducing "Jewel"

Last year, I put together Columbian Wyandotte male and 3 Black hens, in an effort to produce one decent Columbian cockerel.
As expected the 28 chicks were approximately half Columbian and half Black.
Unfortunately not even one measly Columbian male worth breeding came out of that lot.
But one somewhat decent Black cockerel seemed to be turning out not too shabby so kept him.
This is why raising chickens is such an exciting hobby, you make a sensible logical decision and then you scrap it and do something completely different against any logic or reason.
