Thank you Julie! Any chance I could see what "spangled" plumage means, exactly?

Here is a description of what Spangled means.

The Spangled feather has a distinct marking of contrasting color at the extremity of a feather, proximally shaped like a well defined 'V' with a rounded end in some varieties and curved sides or pear-shaped in other varieties. Others are half-moon shaped. The spangles always are black in color and are found in combination with silver or gold ground color or white in color and separated from bay or brown ground color by a black bar. Spangling can be diagonal elongated black marking on the web.

Here is a link to a longer description from the Serama standard: http://www.seramacouncilofnorthamerica.com/standards-and-judging/color-standards/71-spangled-plumage-color-standard.html

Hope this helps.

Ok, here's my next question. I have been told that there are two different kinds of spangling...game bird style and the more reliable style that doesn't change as the bird ages, as in the speckled sussex. I forget what the modifier is, I think it may have been Chris that was talking about it.

Essentially, the spangling found in Orloffs is more in line with the kind that you find in OEG, and not at all like the Speckled Sussex, even though they are both tri-color patterns with a mahogany base.

Where's Chris...
