Blue Chequer Pied Posted December 27, 2009 Report Posted December 27, 2009 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. Paul.

WulDon Posted December 27, 2009 Report Posted December 27, 2009 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...
hotrod Posted December 27, 2009 Report Posted December 27, 2009 One of the hens I timed in YB National has just completed moult. Nothing unusual there, but she scored in yb National as a blue wf and now she is only a blue. No wf after moult, has anybody had this before? :-/ 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- Posted December 27, 2009 Report Posted December 27, 2009 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
