Re: Fawn cheek?
John, they are mine to...and I have you to thank for getting me back into them!!! Patches and Cleo are still with me and have a lovely cage all to themselves. A majority of of some of their offspring have some part to play in some of the mutations I have. They have good genes!!!

Re: Fawn cheek?
Yup female BB's can resable female penguins.
And there is actually a pretty easy way to figure out wich is wich.
What does her tail feathers look like? Are they wholly white with no bars? (but fawn feathers underneath) If so she is BB. If not she is probably penguin
Btw, she has much whiter belly than my fawn BB, so if she is BB I would wonder if she is LB fawn BB or something.

Beautiful!!
just be careful,
when you breed them,
do not breed FC to FC,
you have to breed FC to non FC bird.
