If you have any ideas about what they might be please get in touch to discuss.
Below - Blue Cleartail or not a Blue Cleartail.
This is a hen owned by a breeder in the USA. It doesn't have the white belly and legs of a Blue Cleartail but does have the white tail.
Below - a Green hen with a black instead of red upper and lower mandible
Below - a two month old Pallid-Ino with light shades of pink on its wings and head. Could this be a vitamin/mineral deficiency which when corrected will moult out to show normal colouring.
Below - a bird showing pied wing markings. Is this a new pied mutation or one of the several known mutations?
Below - this picture is not very clear but the bird is pale blue with pied markings on its wings and a white head.
Maybe it's a Blue Pied Lacewing!
