Suz

They are lovely, can i buy some eggs off you please when you have some fertile ones.

of course you can, I'll give you a shout when there laying.

Ginger maybe? They're nice, you do have a lovely mix of colours now!

Hi Suz,

One's going to be a fawn range, the others are more like a chocolate coloured range.

You'll have to come up with some names.lol.

Derek.

Theyre lovely the colour reminds me of a lot of untreated silk stuff I have. Its absolutely beautiful

And this is how the orange chicks turned out, only 1 kept is orange colour, the others are a strange colour which is much lighter than a normal type, still no idea what they would be called -

Orange self -









orange ?? -







Any ideas what these would be called?

Suz

I think the orange range might actually be recessive cinnamon (cin/cin). Not sure about the paler normals.

Caramel - that's the colour they remind me of - stunning birds. Do you know if they are males or females yet or are they still too young?

I don't know the sex of the first one, but I have 3 speckly hens - all coming to POL

Hi Suz,

That one looks very much like the one's I call Cinnamon, but your has more orange tinge to their feathers. I know they are not the same, as my chicks and yours are are very different.

Yes Suz, I know I must get a camera,lol.

Derek.

lol - if you don't get a camera soon, I'm coming down with mine

Any idea's what colour the 'normal-er' looking ones are???

Hi Suz,

The "normally looking ones" are the one's that are simular to my cinnamons. The first picture could be a fawn range, but it's darker than the one's I've seen.

We urgently need to get some photo's together so we can all have a say in what colour they are/to be called?

Derek.
ps

Going to asda in morning to buy a camera.lol

Oooh yes purlease. I'd love to know what's what colour size. I think I've just got gold and normals but I'm going to have a proper look at them in daylight.

The normal ones def aren't cinnamon - "The cinnamon is a dilution of the dark brown pigments of E/E (aka Range) to a cinnamon colour." That implies that a cinnamon bird would have range patterning rather than normal, I think...however it does mean that that bird has to carry range. Suz, if you do a test mating to a normal bird and get range chickies, then it must be cinnamon. If not its something different altogether!

Ok I'll do that
