Some Deroy almond pics

OK, hope this works. The two yellow hens are sisters, both are dominant opal, dilute Deroy almonds. The red is a Deroy, son of the lighter hen. The father was a spread indigo (andalusion) that was split for recessive red. In the pics, you should be able to see the darker feathers in the rump, a characteristic of Deroys. Both hens have had opal babies with non opal mates and is the only way I could be sure that they were opal.

Almond ember mosaic hen pics


Attachment 13291

Attachment 13292

Attachment 13293

This hen is a lightly marked almond, has ember which shows under the tail and I consider her a mosaic because of the 1 inch black patch on her upper chest. These large patches are fairly common in almond breeding but they are still mosaics to me. I'm trying to sort out what makes this happen so often in almonds. The ember is not so common in them but it may be more common than we think. Notice the tail bar on this bird, it is what brought my attention to her in the first place. Not a typical almond.

This is a spread indigo almond and is a full brother to the red Deroy shown above.
