RH Gouldian Not all Red ?

Post by ranchnanny » Thu Jun 26, 2014 11:35 am

This is a photo of one of my RH Gouldian hens head. My other RH hens have full red heads but this hen is part red/black. She was totally bald several months ago and finally got her head feathers back. She had the same head color red/black but I would like to know what mutation this is.
Can anyone tell me?

That is a pretty RH.PB.Normal hen, it's not unusual for a hens head to have more black then males :)

Yeah she looks like she is wearing a red yarmulke! There is more red visible in the photo than in person.
