My odd-colored girls were hard to get a picture of when they were younger too.(not saying they're the same color as yours). They always looked all white in the pictures.

Do you have pics od adult fume birds? i'm not familiar with the color name.

fume is blue and bronze at the same time, not sure where the name came from. i dont have any adults yet but on here http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Ducks/Musc/BRKScobies.html there is a picture of a wild type one but theyve called it a "smoke" coloured muscovy.

Hi,the name is from A. Taibel in Italy who described this genetic variant in year 1961. Sepia, called "Faiogeno", F gene toghether with the blue = Fumo. I have called it "Fume" (translation from fumo) and in the book poultry ang genetics (editor Crawford) called it "smoky grey". Faiogeno with peal grey(silver or double blue) called "Tortora" (by Taibel in the same report). Sepia/Faiogeno is very rare over the world but exist in few countries. For example Sweden and Australia. Fumo is even more rare and Tortora only exist in very few hands(2?) what I know. But I like yours Ian and mine of course

"Fumo" (1 year old, drake)
