violet hens

Do violet hens tend to grow a darker ring than a blue? I just got a DNA DF violet hen that has a pretty dark shadow of a ring. Almost like you would see In immature male.

Good to know. Its supposed to drop to the mid 40s at night with the high in the upper 50s for the next two days, then back up to the upper 70s by Sunday. Do you think the eggs will be fine as long as she sits tight? I draped a heavy quilt over the outside of the nestbox.

I thought a pallidino would have a dark ring coming from the beak. That ring kind of represents a lutino more than a pallidino. My lutinos would show a green sheen under certain lighting conditions, much the same way an albino will show a blue sheen.
