Fawn Bc

[Clare L 175]

Hi All,

 

To my surprise had another fawn BC fledge a couple of days ago.

Thought my first one was a one off aviary thing.

But to my surprise I have another one.

So now at least I have been able to identify the cock, who I now know is definitely split for BC as well as the hen.

 

 

I'm thinking this one could be split BB as well but will have to wait and see.

 

This was the only chick in the nest all other eggs were infertile.

Clare,

          Nice one, not to many BC fawns about, only ones I've seen have all been hens never a male.

 

Even the two BC  fawn pieds I got out his season are both hens.

 

Let me know if you manage to breed a male of this type in the future,

Hi Trevor,

 

I have one Male Fawn BC already from an earlier clutch this year, which I was confused about.

But I also think this be a cock as well, plus I'm being hopeful that it is BB as well.

 

I have the older Fawn BC Cock with a split BB Fawn hen at the moment, they are in for the winter, if they do breed I only expect splits.

 

The problem I now have is the hen that produces these is getting old now so probably one or two seasons left in her, she is only rearing one or two chicks per clutch now.

 

But now I have two at least I can bring this line on, although it will take a while.

Hi Chris,

 

Will post pics when moulted, will be a while yet though.

 

I'm now hoping to get my fawn BC cock and fawn hen to produce for me, Hopefully they will be splits Cocks and Hens )

Then I can breed to the new fawn BC wether male or female.

 

I also have a couple of normal BC/ Fawns that I can put into the mix eventually to try and help the colour.

 

This mutation is very new to me so any advice how to proceed would be great.

Clare,

Having not seen a male of this type, does he have black flanks or std chestnut colour ?

I hope you succeed in this line as it would be an interesting project,

I will help where I can, but knowledge is limited with this mutation,

Trevor :-)
