What Colour is this?

[van Roberts]

the colour is a red mozaic the great fancier dereck smith of gt ayton had them and came from his janssens stock but were mainly blue mozaic birds butdid throw out reds hope this helps

[THE FIFER]

click on photo to make it larger, I would say if its a youngster it could go more grey- silver, SILVER MEALY, or stay with the dark gray and maybe an OPAL BLUE.

Correct !!!!!!!!, one of the greatest/best families of birds I've ever seen in my time were the Harrisons etc & they quite often threw up mosiacs at times over the years here (100) from when they were first imported around 1907/8 by Max Foy, from George Harrison of Oakamoor Staffs (Where ever that is)   ;) & the hen of his no 1 pair etc was a mosaic. Now !!!!!!!! For all you purists "LMFAO" 2 traits which they were well known for etc, even today. Are, 1 - Weak backs & 2 - Wide tails, so there you go & make of it, what you may  ;D ;D ;D.

Enjoy.

Looks like a red schalie another description that fits well is slatey red!

 

The feathers appear to be quite badly fretted this causes the light markings across the feather webbing.

 

This bird is probably a janssen based bird. The red schalie blood in my family all descend from a famous breeder called Schalie Bange (red schalie cock) owned by Haywood lofts he was direct from the Ponderosa Janssens through Olympiad Bange in the seventies.

 

Weak backs and wide tails not a characteristic of my family!

[vanvaizey]

I have some the same colour and asked the question on another website. The only answers I got was maybe Opal maybe Mosiac or Silver. I lost a young bird just like that this year and the mother is similar but not so much red in it.
