Question regarding silver color gene, am i correct in thinking that silver is only seen in a a bird which has a pattern. That is a solid colored bird would not be silver ?

**PIC HEAVY**


In other news, I managed to get more pics of Herman and Winston yesterday, but they were being flighty again so I could only get them by tossing them in an empty brooder tub, so the pics still aren't great. Hopefully they are a bit more helpful than head shots, though.

That's roo feathering starting to show on Herman.  His wing bow area, back and saddles will have lots of that color when fully mature.

I am now thinking Winston is a boy with those new pictures... he's molting out to a Columbian color pattern(light body with black tail and neck like light brahmas). He is showing some barring on a few feathers so there's a chance he may be Delaware pattern- columbian with barring added but more likely it's youth type barring and will disappear later on.

Both are handsome birds.

Thank you! It seems to be a continuous guessing game with Winston. I guess I'll just wait until they're full grown and/or wait for eggs that never show. Grow, birdies, grow!

I thought I would share some picture of my little guys. They have gotten use to me and now like me so im very happy about that. They have also started to get their wing feathers in.

Froggie I like Gizmo, he got the serama tail but not the dolly parton bust - he is a cutie pie

I LOVE everyone's birds! They're gorgeous! I have one that I've entered in the fair, but I'm starting to wonder if it's a cockerel, not a pullet. There are 2 the same age, and this one is a LOT bigger than the other. The only difference I've noticed is that this one has a single large wattle, while the other has 2 smaller wattles. What does everyone think?
