Specific Gouldian Mutation

Hi all,

I'm looking for a specific Gouldian mutation - a RH WB Yellow back hen. I have seen RH WB yellow males (both DF and SF), but have never seen a hen with this particular coloration. I have even done a lot of looking just generally on the Internet to even find a picture, but no luck. Does anyone have any pictures they could share of this mutation? Feels like it's almost like a unicorn...

Thanks!

Looks like Madcat is about to have close to a mutation with her pair. See thread (although her offspring will likely be PB or Lilac Breast)

I put it through the forecaster.

I'm not sure to be honest with you. I've seen loads of pictures of RH/ WB/ YB, but never stopped to think wheather they were male or female.

Your best bet would be to ask debbie276. She is extremely knowledgeable about the different mutations.

I had one in the past, her mask was much lighter than the boys
Herself - yip she was a fiery redhead.

Thanks very much, everyone - so they do exist! It does appear, though, in almost all of these pictures, that the red head coloration in the hens is much less pronounced and completely "filled in" than the cocks (especially the DF cocks). I understand that male coloration is more intense/deep generally than female, but I don't notice such a difference in head coloration in red headed green backs, for instance.

I have a RH.WB.YB hen, hatched 8/22/14. Her dad was YH/b.WC.DFYB/b and mom was BH.WC.GB/b; so she is probably split to blue. PM me if you are interested.

Hi Dolly - Thanks for your note, I may very well be interested - where are you in Wisconsin?
