Now we all know how we are all into red headed chicks but probubly not this kind. A red-headed chicken was born at the Kohl Children’s Museum in Glenview Illinois which stood out from the usually Black chicks that are born in the museum’s Eggs to Chicks Exhibit.
The distinctive red tinge to the birds hair is extremely rare with their being only 300 of the kind in existence according to scientists. The actual breed went extinct more then a century ago but just like in humans the recessive genetic trait has continued to be passed down through generations but has remained dormant.
The chick dubbed “Rusty” will remain at the museum until the end of April when it will be handed over to a group who is attempting to re-populate the Auburn Java variety. Museum employees had been told to keep a watch out for some of the rarer colours as even blue hair has been known to exist.
