No they are sole occupants in each aviary

That hen is in the second aviary from the right, not a good pic though.

Not having Crimsons round here to compare. Can you put up a pic of the worrying hen, and another of your hens? For comparison. But looking at the yellow link Gomer put up I would say not yellow. So maybe pink? I think she is a lovely soft colour. And the birds overall are very nice.

Certainly something different - even the bill looks lighter than a normal.

Assuming that it is a mutation the trying to understand it genetically - if the mother has produced a daughter like that then does that mean that the cock bird (parent) of the youngster is also carrying it whether its sex-linked or autosomonal reccesive.

Be really interesting to see what a mutation cock bird looked like - or maybe not thinks Craig.

It's a sticky one mate, i will leave that pr together and pr her daughter to an unrelated cock bird and see what happens, but i don't want to take away what i am aiming for, a higher white belly cut off square.

You've changed colour to a sickly looking green Gary :lol: :wave: Welcome aboard mate. Craig
