Thank you so much for the compliment monarc23!! I have been doing this for a long time so have learned a ton. There is a lot of conflicting info out there on Buttons so I really researched and have a lot of hands on experience too. With all I have learned about them I love to pass that...

He is a Cinnamon Red Breasted for sure and he will turn darker some on top. He will be brownish(regular Red Breasted will be black there) on the head going down a little bit into the neck area. Then below that going further down the back there will be blue feathering. There is no such...
Forgot to add that your Cinnamon is a Cinnamon Red Breast. He is quite striking and has some nice red feathering coming up his sides. He is going to be a very nice looking boy. I would hang onto him. Looks like they are all Red Breast varieties which makes sense since I am sure they are related...
Ok, I know it can all be confusing. It was to me too when I first started out. Let's forget about bibs totally for the moment. I actually do not sex by bibs at all as there are exceptions to this in the male. The Blue Face and it's varieties including Blue Face, Cinnamon Blue Face and Slate do...

Yes I know all about Cinnamon and Silver Red Breast. This chick is not that. When a Silver RB is a chick they do not have any dark down on them at all, they are silvery yellow and when a Cinnamon RB is a chick their darker down beisdes the yellow is reddish/orange. The chick that this person is...
In the Red Breasted mutation there is a wide variation from lighter to darker ones. This just happens to be a lighter version. Some people call the lighter version Darth Vaders since the males have a solid black head but the hens of the Darth Vader are quite light compared to regular Red...
It is a regular Red Breasted without a doubt. At this age it is hard to tell if male or female as they all look female when they are young since that makes them camouflaged to hide from predators with their mothers. As the feathers start to come in better by the vent area if you see reddish...
