I think it will turn out the same colour as the cock,I had one a similar colour last year and she looks just as she did as a youngen.
Here's a photo of her as a youngbird.

Hi Jim ,
Nice to see you back on the site mate,bloody computers,drive you up the wall, about as bad as youngens till you get them up in the air.
He's looking well , mental when driving and worse when sitting just about draws blood.

A BIG thank you to Stan for the 6 young birds received this afternoon,they are absolute belters.Wing stamped plus marker rings, watered and not too much feed just to settle them to me.I've been in and out of the loft a dozen times and they look better every time I see them. :)
Thanks once again Stan.
Lindsay.
Is this it lads and lasses,no more young bird sickness?????
Watch this space :-/
I would like to think so,it's knocked all the fun out of racing for a lot of years.

More than likely an even faster decline in song birds,song birds what are they,I live in a village surrounded by woodlands fields etc.never see them now not even a house sparrow.
Last night was one of the roughest night we've had for a while,garden,fields out back flooded and rubbish blown all over the place,if it had been snow it would have took some diiging out.

Hi mate,
they wouldn't starve,it's not nature for things to starve if there's an alternative food supply,they might clean all the Grouse and Pheasants out though, then there would be a shout.
The men with cash and ability to do something about it might just act.

Looks like the same responce on here paul.
It's just a pitty some of our so called leaders don't join these chat sites and give us their point of view.I spoke to one personally a week or so ago who is getting hammered with percy and sparrow and he was in cockoo land and personally thinks that chat sites are there to start roumors,at that point I walked away.
It's good to see certain fanciers are trying to help others , a little bit more discrete might come to mind without being band off a site.
YOU can't help anyone if your BANNED.
And some good lads are.
Good luck with your venture.
