It's nice to see some colour in the avairy again - can't wait for the blues to fully colour up

About 98% through the moult - pretty happy
Can anyone tell me is there any difference with the 2 blue hens? Their face colours look slightly different - or is one just slightly ahead in moult?
Thanks

One is a red head and the other is what they call a dirty red head

Thanks Alvin, I quite like the dirty red heads colour

some truly loverly gouldians there Birdy, well done

Very nice healthy looking birds there birdy and agree with alvin with hen face colour. Craig

Never heard of a dirty red face,where these names come from god only knows,one is red the other yellow imo,agree with different colour ranges in red and yellow head,garyh

Gary it's the same as a black masked hen in wild type that has the red mingled in it so that is the result when the blue mutation is added.
I don't know about you but when i was breeding gouldians i really disliked these black head birds with a patch of red or yellow in the black and always strived to have clean and full black/red and yellow head colours. The word dirty may not be the correct word but it describes it well. Cheers Craig
