Wow that Hen is BD quality in my books. Will be very interested with the pups. Would love to see pics in a couple of months to see if their color changes. I am surprised they look so mantilla, must be a very strong gene.

This looks similar to what Asian collectors called, "SPIDER". Please update once they grow up if pattern changed....

If the male henlei will hybrid with her,he will hybrid with all females...thered be no stopping him,i think the pups will turn out quite similar to a hen/pearl..and ive seen some very special ones of these!..for me i'g go for the top left..reminds me of a pup i saw once then saw a year later and it was real speacial!
