Quote: Just a short post on this. If you remember back a while we discussed the importance of having the proper undercolor in the Columbiam variety. Without the proper undercolor it is virtually impossible to get the black where it is supposed to be showing. In the primary and secondary wing feathers it helps to use a male with extra black in the wing along with good dark undercolor. I see your female has the nice Hackle feayhers going all the way to the ear hole like they are supposed. I might be able to help more if you ask any specific questions.
I have had several different Columbian color variety for close to 50 year, and have bred most at one time in large numbers for showing.
