Buford Bronze Blackshoulder Spalding
 |
Type of mutation: Buford Bronze Blackshoulder Spaldings are a combination of the bronze color mutation and the blackshoulder pattern mutation, and are a hybrid between the Blue and Green species. |
|
Peacock Coloration: Bronze Blackshoulder Spaldings have the typical, dark iridescent brown coloration of normal Bronze, but their wings are a solid brown nearly as dark as the rest of their body, rather than the typical lighter brown and white barring. They exhibit varying amounts of green traits, including longer legs, a taller, tighter crest, and yellow facial skin. |
|
Peahen Coloration: Hens exhibit the typical blackshoulder white with dark splotching on their backs, although this splotching is more brown than black. They have a patch of dark brown and green iridescence at the back of their neck. They also show the green traits of longer legs, taller, tighter crest and yellow facial skin. |
|
Do they breed true?: The bronze and blackshoulder traits breed true, but offspring may show varying degrees of Spalding traits. |
