Barbu de Watermael Chickens

[debbie22]

Hi, can anyone please tell me what colour my lovely Watermael are? I was told they are "quail colour" but having looked online I'm not 100% sure. Apparently there are 26 different colours of Watermael. Many thanks.

They are absolutely adorable! I do not think that is a quail pattern. These are d'Anvers but a Quail pattern on them would look the same.

I'll do some digging and see if I can determine what color they are. Perhaps @nicalandia , @The Moonshiner, or @CountryFlock will know...

Possibly White Lemon Quail, or Wit-citroenkwartel:

That's the closest I've been able to find...

I agree - they don't look at all the same. It's a conundrum for sure . Thanks for your help @ColtHandorf it's much appreciated!

Thank you for the link @ColtHandorf . I agree, that's the closest I've seen to them, but will keep researching.

Red Pyle.

Tag me, folks I do actually know colors

 

[The Moonshiner]

I'm not exactly sure but they aren't red pyle.

I'm not exactly sure but they aren't red pyle.

Now that you say that, I just noticed the cockerel should have a white breast.. Maybe it's an ongoing project?

It’s not red pyle. Neston poultry in the uk sells them. It’s lacking the dark red patch in red Pyle roos.

they used to display the coloration on their website. “Citron” is what I remember it seems
