Florida Fancy or something else?

Post by pidgepudge » Mon Jul 25, 2016 10:39 pm

Hey guys~ So ever since I got this female of mine I've assumed she's a Florida Fancy, but recently I was looking at some pics of FF hens and I realized my girl looks sort of different. I am now questioning if she's FF at all, or if she is, what else she might carry.

Any suggestions? I'm very wishfully-thinking she might be split for Orange Breast (but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed on that one!)

I have two other single factor Florida fancies (unrelated) and they're much more grey in color though. This girl is a really pale cream color almost identical to the color of a male double factor Florida fancy that I have (and he's definitely FF, he I got from a breeder and both of his parents were full FFs).
