My new self blue OEGB

[RAREROO]

OK thanks Yeah I can see the lavender chevrons with little white tips now, so yes, they are all Porcelains.

Well what the heck?

This is porcelain my rooster.

this is isabella..( not porcelain) missing mille pattern..

 

[Heather08]

your birds IMO are not porcelain they are isabella if not sun bleached (still possibility)

Thesse are also isabella colored ( its a step in the project of porcelain)

 

[Puresilk]

if these birds are indeed porcelain, wonder why the mottling is so indistinct?

 

[Puresilk]

I am hoping they are just dingy, in need of a good molt and sun bleached...what do you guys think of their type?

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Colour is beautiful

 

[Heather08]

its either there or it isnt, if its not there they are called "isabella" they have 2 dose of lavender(selfblue) but not over black(like self blue) alone is the question, but what is under the self blue is the question, its not mille fluer(to make the porcelain) IMO .. you can see my porcelain rooster, there is no mistake, the isabella color is jsut the same as porcelain but it lacks the motteling that mille pattern has. Im gonna go out on a lime here and say your rooster is lavender(self blue) over brassyback , and thats if he isnt just sun bleached, Henk or a few others will be able to better peel your birds layers apart, helped me TONS learning the colors. The type on the birds thou looks nice in my novice opnion, love the tail on that hen and for that matter the roo too, just go with em and either use in future generations.

I am gonna keep them, and if they are indeed porcelains, it was much easier to get them than I thought it would be

. THen I just need to pick up some self blues of breeding age....I have the pair of young self blues...but they have that faint barring in their feathers, lol....
