Nick Hall 193 Report post Posted June 1, 2013 Hi Guys, New for me but here are a couple of youngsters bred from a CFW cock and a CFW cheeked hen, the hen was loaned from Peter Hook. ( The father was BIS at Carlisle ). 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dannyboy2012 63 Report post Posted June 1, 2013 Hi nick they look cracking, I didn't even realise there was a mutation called CFW cheeked, as they look like a washed out CFW cock bird mate. Dan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy 528 Report post Posted June 1, 2013 Hi Nick Those chicks are real beauties! The cock doesnt seem to have any black breast markings. I know you said the parent (hen) was CFW cheeked is this why there's no black breast markings on the chicks? Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scott cunningham 21 Report post Posted June 1, 2013 Hello Nick, The one on the left is what your looking for in regard to colour,having bred this mutation myself. The one on the right has too much colour but seems to have better head features,the one on the left has his eyes closed,so could equally have good head features. Nonetheless nice looking birds.

paulm 119 Report post Posted June 10, 2013 Hi Nick From what I understand the colour should be very faint i.e the markings in the cock, there a few pictures on the flemming and flemming site of Cfw cheeked cocks so might be a good place to look at. Either way lovely type to those birds. Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
