Hi guys...

Random question for you all, i'm aware you can get ino's masking spangle but is it possible to have a spangle ino... although they sound much the same, i mean literally a ino showing spangling...

I have a creamino at the moment in the nest who literally appears to be a spangle creamino... the yellow colour washing over her body actually spangles on her feathers...?

Here's two pics for you...

 

- head feathers

 

- Back

 

Let me know what you think, or if this is normal... this is my only creamino who's ever shown this

I personally don't see why not...

Looks pretty interesting to me Libby, better look after it well, it may be a mutation. Usually when you have an Ino of any colour it totally masks it's true colour.

 

It could have Spangle influence. I have had Lutino's masking Spangle, but there was no sign of any pattern. What birds did it come out of?

 

I just had a thought, maybe it’s a Fallow Spangle…does it have Fallow in it’s line. I've just been thinking of trying to breed some next year.

funny you should mention that it's a heinz mix! from a pet type fallow father who was paired to a yf2 spangle recessive pied mother

They hatched 4 chicks, three recessive pieds and one creamino, two of the recessive pieds are yf, the other is green... and all are opaline...

So i know the dads split blue, opaline, ino and recessive pied Not bad genes for a fallow eh

Looks like it must be a YF Fallow, it will be a hen. Except that you say the father is split for Ino so there's the possibility of Ino & Recessive Pied does some strange things to feather also & maybe Spangle.

The mums the spangle

I beleive it to be ino not fallow because the mums not fallow or split

Other than the coloured spangling on it, it is exactly the same as a normal creamino

Don't know but I want her! She's bootiful.

Sorry I’m getting mixed up Fallows are not sex linked are they, that’s what I was thinking. Unless the hen could be split Fallow it can remain hidden for a long time, until it meets the gene from another bird. I still think if it was Ino all the pattern would be masked. See what others think.

She's been named JUBE by bob after the lollies she reminds him of LOL

I'm not sure either Norm... she's a toughy... perhaps it's a fluke and she'll moult it out although i'm hoping she won't

Sure looks nice anyway Libby, it’s always interesting to see new colours that you haven’t come across before…good luck with her.

Libby I sense this little girl may be staying for a long time

thanks, yes... she definatly will be staying, she's got fallow genes

she is a beauty.

yf is interesting sometimes with giving patchy markings on teh body. it will be good to see pictures of her when she has moulted a few times.
