Does anyone have photos of full red fronted painted hens
Can they look like a normal cock bird

I have two pairs of emblemas with full-fronted red cocks. I've bred about 50-60 young from them over the last few years, from which about half could be considered "full fronted". They've yet to produce a hen that is even slightly better coloured than a standard normal emblema you'd get from a pet shop.

I would be interested in seeing a photo of one too, should such a thing exist.

Full red front painted hens do have a red breast like a normal cock (a thin streak) bird, but they lack the extensive red on the crown and behind the eyes
Here is an image of a group of full red fronteds: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=pain ... EHr9DKyDdM:

Trying to figure out if the mature bird is a hen next to the young hen other photo of full red front cock they seem to hang out together

Thats a cock bird mate, no hen has that much red leading around the back of the eye like that
Thanks

The one on the front left of the 2nd picture looks like a hen.
