Do I have a mutation juvenile Diamond ?
Posted: 20 Mar 2014, 21:47
I have a noticeably paler than usual juvenile Diamond , it completely lacks the usual barring present on juveniles flanks .
It's breast bar and overall colouring seems , to me , to be much paler in colour than its siblings ... which are beginning to moult and get their black feathering on the bar .
I've been breeding Diamonds for 2 years and this is the first one thats actually stood out visually different in appearance .
Could I possibly have a mutation on my hands ?
As far as I'm aware the bloodline has no prior mutation and were sold to me as normals around 9-10 months ago .
I have no knowledge when it comes to mutations so please ... explain in layman's terms
