Strawberry Mealy is the equivalent of a Pencil Blue in Red but one thing for sure It's a young cock

[hotrod]

It's a bit young to say ,let's see a pic in a few weeks .

Just write Mealy on the race sheet and no one will argue with you.

Would like to think it will get to a race,losses in this area are getting out of hand.

[THE FIFER]

[greenbar]

probbily a mealy,it,s what he has between his ears, that count and slice of luck,good luck with him,

[greenlands]

By the way there's a red cheq.hiding behind him/her.Difficult to get a photo,have to wait till the hen's out of the nest,she's a complete nutter.

The Mealy has to be a cock and the Red

i have a few like this have them down as strawberry mealy

[JohnQuinn]

I don't see it as a strawberry mealy, I have "proper" strawberry mealies and they do not have the blue tinge to their plummage that this one has. IMO it's just a Mealy that will have a blue'ish/slated look to it as I have had them that way too and never considered them to be called anything other than a plain Mealy.

[cemetary]

Mealy.

[REDCHEQHEN]

I'm not very good with colours - but the two in the nest bowl - the one at the front may be an opal?

 

I had one similar in 2004 - and it has always stuck in my head, as we've not had anything similar since!
