Down On The Backs Of Ino And Fallow Hatchings

Featured Replies

Posted

Hello everybody :)

 

I'd like to ask the opinion of the breeders of Ino and Fallow mutations. One breeder claimed that the hatchings of these mutations don't develop the down on their backs, they develop the feathers on the back at once, without a down. She says that all the Ino and Fallow nestlings she has had were having such a peculiarity. Is this a common case for Ino and Fallow nestlings?

 

Thank you for the answers in advance :)

I'm not a breeder of Fallows or Inos, so I don't know how the trends are for them, but I have had two ino chicks, when the dad turned out to be split for it. Here's one of them:

You can see that she has down. But perhaps there are family lines that run to having little or no down. We'll have to wait to see what people who have bred lots of inos and/or fallows say.

My ino & fallow chicks all had down before their feathers

Finnie, Neville, thank you very much for the answers! :)

 

I could not believe in the constant absence of down on the backs of Fallow and Ino chicks, but this breeder was very assured and she has had quite a number of such chicks. That's why I decided to ask more experienced people :) Once again, thank you very much! :)
