Re: Mud Hen


I believe Andy's mud hen is Indigo. Indigos will all have a washed out tail bar. Sometimes it's barely discernable but you can always see the wash out of the black tail bar. If it's spread, it will also have at least some wash-out on the tail.

Indigo effects the pattern markings of the body differently than the end tail bar. While it washes out the tail bar it makes the pattern more of a rust color.

I have enclosed pics of Andy's bird and you can see both a slight wash-out of the tail bar and a slight rusting effect on the pattern.

I have also seen photos other FOR's that I believe are Indigo floating around the states. One is a bird that Bill Tietze had and it also has the Fehrholz black beak. His photo is included as well.

    Husband with some fehrholz originally from Bill Tietze. I got them from Don Paltani. I also talked to Bill about them and he said that Don had received birds from him.

Re: Mud Hen


Bob,

I dunno... I really don't see any Indigo in the bird. Maybe it's a Dun (Dilute Black)?

Keep us up to date with pics of the baby, I am very curious as to what it will look like as it feathers out.

Re: Mud Hen


It's very hard for me to tell, the lighting is bad on the one pic and the other is too far away. Maybe someone else can tell.
