Fibro Spanish project birds. I started with silkies and bantam Spanish. Have since added large fowl Spanish and Svart Hona into the mix. I was hoping for intense blue faces, but the Spanish seem to be carrying something that kills expression of blue in the ear lobe. I suspect as I get further along with getting good white face expression, the color will go all white.

Wow, thank you very much for coming in and showing us your birds. This is fascinating. A bit disappointing the lobes seem to block blue.. the birds are quite colorful though. Rather like that blue on the white's face.

I wonder how far the blue extends, does it go below the earlobe or is it confined to the face? I had a few naked necks with large white ear lobes and white peppering part way down the neck. Similar to how some white lobed birds have the white bleeding into their faces. I wonder if this also means the blue area may 'follow' this trait down the neck?

Again, thank you for sharing those pictures.

p.s. thanks to you too, Georgia Boy

Thanks I was wondering if a blue face could be achieved... and this confirms what I suspected. I really like them.

As a causal lurker... I want some of those blue face crosses
