odd colour ??

[samantha]

i had a lovely new pair of fantiils in the spring, one indian one exhibition mostly white, but he exhibition is beautiiful pale greys and lovely markings.

 

i havent managed to breed anyting with them cause ive had rats taking the eggs ( i think) which is now sorted, so ive managed to get some eggs hatch

 

hoping for some pretty birds ,,,,,,, hmmm im not sure that brown and grey really goes ?

 

what do you think ??  ;D

 

it even looks like it willhave a dark head, ive never even had a bird that doesnt have a white head

 

anyways i love it, no matter what colour it is !!

[Guest ben]

Sam,

         I know that`s not a racer,but it looks likeit`s got a bit of pipey feather to me,and if you get it on the primary/secondaries,it shows weakness

Fine john,just wish i had my birds back,i don`t half miss `em,i go to sleep dreaming of them,wake up thinking about them,and spend the day looking skywards with my head in the clouds. :'( :'(.

   As for the pipey feathers,just weakness of the parents,the youngster it`s self, bloods not right,does`nt really matter about that 1 ,because it`s will never be worked.Easy to bath the sheath with warm water,soon splits to let the feather out,but nature has shown us a weakness.

     I`ll say 1 thing thou,those pics jimmy white and snowy put on showing those latebreds,blimey,magnificently reared,crackers.

Hi,

 

Nice youngster Samantha. This bird is likely to have extra tail feathers as it is a fantail, and I think they are prone this condition.

The colour, well it looks a bit like toy stencil, I see the hen is also grizzle, so I'm not really sure about it, all depends what colour the sire is carrying underneath the white. I would love to see photos of it after it has moulted, sometimes the bronze (brown) colour changes. Some photos of similar colours here:
