I wanted to share with you on this Website a few pictures of the first “qualitative” ivory males bred in my aviaries. It was in 2013, from a bloodline obtained by a well-known breeder from ‘s Hertogenbosch, in the Netherlands.
We clearly notice the mix of both silver and brown recessive mutations producing this very delicate ground coloration.
A particularity of the ivory phenotype, only visible on males birds, is those darker anthracite patches on the breast.
The pictures below were taken on October 24th, 2013.
