If not pure white, used to be concerned that they had OEGB in their background. Hatchery Dutch may indeed be crossbred--or from crossbred lines, even a number of generations earlier. Good luck, they still may become fully white. .

What would be a reasonable time to be patient? Wish it was easier to post pictures here. I may put pics on the facebook page. Thanks Jean
