Emmy 528 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 I think that's a beauty too. Do you think its cheeks will stay white? Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew123 72 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 Thanks Emmy, The cheeks have a slightly dark tint to them - both parents are split for black cheek. This bird has a very similar older sibling who had no black in her cheeks but as she is moulting they are getting a bit darker. So the concise answer to your question is - I haven't got a clue! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyn 534 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 Andy, My standard CFW chicks have tear drops so I guess yours are going to be a mutation which doesn't have them.. Interesting!! Andy N Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew123 72 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 It's the black breasted part that removes the tear mark. A bb cfw hen is completely white except for the few black feathers next to the beak. Nice looking birds. I didn't know that the pair I had bought were split for anything, I was quite surprised when the first nest of chicks came through. The best part really is that they are huge birds with good form. If I can get two chicks out of them that match I might even consider being brave enough to start showing. My main problem is that I only have the one pair of cfw's so I really need to find some equally good birds to continue the line. Andy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
