Split To Black Breasted?
So, my BCCCFW (black cheeked chestnut flanked white) hen has two or three tail feathers like this, is she split to black breasted? It is similiar to the hour glass shape. I saw this feather on the cage floor so I grabbed it! Another hen was chasing her but that hen is now in a seperate cage with a mate.

ha ha....your picture is blurry...hour glass shape indicated split to BB
The tail feather looks like 3 dots joined....unclear as to what that indicates. Tail feathers can have lits of patterns some are not a clear indicator as to what a bird is split to.

If she is split to BB and you paired her with a full BB then you should get BB young...if she is not you will get splits.
