Notes:
As you can see, some of the offspring from my Spangled Butchers come with less white feathering, and others come with more. In fact, sometimes from mating my Spangled Butchers together, some of the offspring are White Butchers (for example, there is one in the bottom-right photo). The differing amount of white feathering in my Spangled Butchers is to be expected, and allows some variety in feather color. As for other characteristics, there is much uniformity. (Also see the related notes on the White Butcher page.)
