Hi Derek I have a young cock this year that was a blue w/f and is now a blue. He is a busschaertxwildemeersch bred by Jimmy Bamling. It has never happened to me before. Dissapointing thing is Jimmy told me all the best ones have one white flight, sod's law I suppose.

just doing ma job wouldn't like to see you lose the  blue reband  ;D

[WulDon]

had this before, sometimes this actual feather is not white at the root so it regrows in the normal grey colour... we sometimes see this in feathers that are half white, but in these cases it is just right at where it grows from the wing...

had it many times derik ,in fact if you had looked closely at it before it moulted right at the root of the flight  you would have seen that it is dark coloured ,i have had ones that are white at the top one third  of the flight and dark/normal coloured the rest. cant remember if any were that special that had this .  

[Guest stb-]

yip had it a few times and you look round the loft for the w f bird and its gone .

 

just the w f no the bird ;D ;D  somtimes they come back next moult with a white tip on the flight

[Guest kev d]
