norfolk flyer 208 Report post Posted August 29, 2014 All, Just had a bit of luck, had a new mutation out of my shed today, Parents are OB Fawn x Cream hen, 1st brood 1x Cream, this round had 2, 1x Cream and this little chap, I think it's a BBLB Fawn, Note how white it is from under the beak right through to the vent area, Cheered my season up a bit, Trevor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
