i dont know to much of the breeed myself i was ginna get some silver spangeld spitzy and most of the ones werent very good they didnt even have the crest pointing forward but im in canada so they are very hard to come by
just to let u know the chances of getting show birds from hatcheries is low but as far as the color thing could it just be there crest starting to develop
really i dont have a clue about this breed but if u have the book called the American standard of perfection look them up in that. thats all the help i can give
