Pure FBCM?

[Gray Farms]

More a light yellow with a bit of a pink hue

If they have noticeable yellow in them that may indicate she is not 100% pure.

She appears to be pure.

Looks like a purebred FBCM to me.

Agreed, I'm not spotting anything that indicates impurity.

Did you get the eggs from a hobby farmer? Are you keeping them for egg color or trying to breed? Yellow tint in the feet shouldn’t be bred forward nor should parasitic white - it’s normal for a white wing feather until molt but white underfluff and white feathers as adult are not desirable. Thing is with FBCM to keep the egg color dark you end up breeding in new bloodlines and these things crop up. As well feathered as she is I would have expected her eyes to be showing the correct color. How old? Sometimes it takes until 4 months to really see the red bay color. Their eyes shouldn’t stay that olive looking color.

Also with the copper- totally normal to have varying amounts. I have a hen with hardly a copper feather. She is a perfect hen for my almost over colored roo. I have another hen with so much that she isn’t a good match for my boys. If they have a healthy amount of copper on their necks check their wings for copper feathers to make sure they aren’t boys.
