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

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
