paulm 119 Report post Posted July 23, 2014 Hi Sorry for the late reply i'm working far to much these days. In a Blackface hen the white in between the beak and tear mark is not white but the same colour as the body colour, and the under side of the body is less white than a none BF bird, in a cock the bird will be a lot blacker than a normal birds. Below you can see a couple of young Bf's i bred a few year back now you can see what i mean about the colour hope you dont mind me posting it on your thread. Paul.
