I agree with Rich, have you bred this bird to that normal hen and if so what was the progeny, this will give you an idea of what mutation it is.

Thanks guys. Craig, they are just going to nest now, I'll let you know.

Fantastic news.
What colour hen did you pair him up with?

[Finchy]

Yes, looks like SF Pastel (=Euro Yellow). Looks to have a good head on him, and amazing chest colour.

Not a sf pastel,just a sf euro yellow like everybody else said,garyh

I would except the term "SF pastel (green) cock".
It wouldn't sound right if you had to drop the word "pastel" from "pastel blue".

But it's just minor wording which we all knew what you meant.

Something I do giggle about silently inside is people happy to use the term "pastel blue" to discribe a SF (pastel green) cock displaying the blue mutation but when it comes to a yellow cock bird (DF pastel green) displaying the blue mutation people want to use the layman's term of silver, they really get lost when I call a yellow (SF pastel green) hen a pastel hen or when the same bird is displaying the blue mutation a (SF) pastel blue hen...

It's all same same but different...

Hi Rich,so is what your saying,a yellow hen split to blue is a pastel and a green back hen split to blue is also a pastel,garyh
