Ermine?

[Bantimna]

Is Ermine (sp?) the same as Columbian? What is the difference?

Thanks!

As far as I know, the only difference is that the color Ermine has no black striping in the saddles in the males.

You caught my attention being a horse color enthusiast, ermines in horses are the black spots around the hooves on a white sock, interesting...id like to see a pic of a chicken this color description.

Light sussex is the same as Ermine.

Light brahmas are the same as columbian.

There is a colour called Ermine, ie Ermine Faverolles. Ermine, Light (as in Sussex) & Columbian (as in Wyandottes) all describe the same colour pattern.

There is also a gene called Ermine, very rare, not recognised as far as I know in any breed.
As a hererozygote is white with a pattern of black spots, white when homozygous.

Black spots...where?

 

[TurtleFeathers]

I thought the white one with black spots was "erminette" (similar to exchequer)? Is there a difference between erminette and ermine?

"Is there a difference between erminette and ermine?"
No they are the same, just different local names.
