Cinnamon effect...

or stress barring?
Hi all,
I acquired this Cinnamon Green hen yesterday afternoon- and didn't notice any barring when I picked her up-(was dusk) this morning I notice that she has barring going all the way down her tail- which I couldn't manage to get a pic of- so, does Cinnamon cause this effect?

My cinnblue has that same affect I never really looked too much into it though so not sure on why it has it.

Thankyou- good to know- would you happen to have a picture of what yours looks like?
Here's a pic I managed to get (which I then lightened as it was too dark) that shows the tail:

Your bird is edged
if it was just cinnamon it would have darker brown flight feathers
edged flights are a continuation of body color
take some pics of the open wing

you know, I was half wondering about that myself- as I'd never seen one (in real life) before, I wasn't knowing what I was really looking at.
I'm stoked... so, no Cinnamon then?
will try and get wing pics- thanks for your help

I agree with you, it is edged but I would go for cinnamon edged (SL Edged-cinnamon).
Peter your bird doesn't look so healthy, but are you sure it isn't a greygreen SL Edged although cinnamon in combination with violet, dark and edged can give this mustard colour effect.

My first reaction, based on the first pic was the same. Granted, I was also leaning towards cinnamon edged.
Then came the second pic that shows the tail nicely. And it causes some doubt with me. Don't you guys think that the main tail feather, esp. the barb/rachis is too dark (esp. considering it is a hen)? For edged, it is normally a light beige/brown colour. That tail feather is rather dark. Can of course be the light too...
I normally go back to this pic as reference, as it shows the tail colour for siblings (cock and hen).

Interesting,
Shey, can you find out info on the parents? pics maybe?
Is the Hen DNA sexed or nest sexed?

didn't get to get open wing shots- I'll leave it alone for now as it doesn't sit still with me around and it's been a stressful week for it considering that it was shipped up here from somewhere down south after the husband and wife decided to split (messy divorce apparently).
Doubt I'd find out if it were dna'd (although it does have a leg band which might tell us the year) it was sold to me through a middle person who'd grouped it together in with "mature hens aged 3 and above".

That is not only a cinnamon. I guess we are seeing a lot of variation in the tail then. I am now on board with cinnamon edged. I might even be convinced there is misty in that as well. That is a very interesting bird, Shey.

Based on the last pic I am also thinking of Misty SL Edged-Cinnamon. Nice dark head, will be nice in combination with.........?

I was thinking Violet...and am waiting to hear back from another breeder what he has available.. but now I don't know if this bird is indeed a hen

Shey, most guys also think there isn't edged in Oz. But, when one goes back to the roots of these birds, I'm betting a lot of the "experimental" edged birds from Europe was exported. And it might be some of those birds that were in the import batch that introduced edged to Oz. And the two most prominent experiments that I know of with edged in Europe was creating combinations with cinnamon and with misty. If there ever was a chance of a misty sneaking into Oz, my money would be on a bird very similar to this one.
I would put that bird on a "clean" bird, i.e. a blue, violet, deep or dark cock and start to reverse investigate it. Make 100% sure the cock isn't split cinnamon.
I'm also eagerly awaiting Madas to join this conversation. He knows much more about these mutation combination than me.

no aviary name- and the bird didn't come from down south like I thought but more like over the hill- so the people weren't big time breeders. I'll try and get some better shots when the weather starts being co-operative (been raining all week) but for now I'll go with SL Edged Cinnamon Green.
Johan- just saw your post- is this really a possibility? I feel like I am in over my head...

Let's see what Madas will say
but i'm still on edged no cinnamon - we have to allow a variance in camera he is using.
unfortunately i don't have a green edge, most of the ones i kept are df & df turq so most of them have white flights.

if it helps..it has lighter feet than my Blue cock, but darker feet than my Pallid hen.

At some stage I saved a copy of a blue misty edged cinnamon that Madas uploaded. I'll wait for his input. Of course, more pictures of the bird in question won't do any harm; when the weather allows.

From the tail in the pic it is clear it isn't greygreen, but the bird isn't dark enough to be violet dark cinnamon.

Had a real good look at it today- and I 100% think it has Cinnamon- its' feather shafts are brown, has clear-ish light nails and seems to switch between brownish and greenish colouring depending on the light.
Will promise to take detailed pics when we move it over to the other avairy- but here are a couple more for now:

Here she looks like an edged bird (green ???).

Tail looks like the one violet dark and body color could be cinnamon edged because it's very light for a violet dark green.

Shey is your bird similar, light mustard color like the last pic Tienie posted? or darker overall color?

Difficult in hens but easier in sf cock. Attached please find a comparison pic of sf SL Edged dblue & sf SL Edged-cinnamon dblue.
It is a bit easier in the green series where the SL Edged-cinnamon is more yellow/green in the flights. If you look at the comparison pic it is clear how difficult it is to distinguish between the 2 although the colour of the feet give an indication. One would argue that by adding SL Edged to Cinnamon it will reduce it by about another 25% and this is clearly not the case.

See, when I saw that pic and taking the full sunlight into account it
could be the colour of my bird I wouldn't say the bird in that pic was mustardy- Peter's Violet Edged looks mustardy to me- but getting back to my bird, it's hard to describe the colour, but when viewed from the front and from a distance say 20ft and in the shade, not to un-similar to the eye to my Wildtype Green, but up close remarkably different- the colour is like a limey green.
Tienie -thankyou for sharing pictures of your wonderful SL Edged birds

do you still happen to own your SL Edged Cinnamon Green, and did you have any shots of the tail or any other shots where it is not in full sun?
reg Blue cock can be used as a reference:

If not Cinnamon- what do we put the light nails and feet down to- also what about the brown feather shafts?

Sorry I gave both my SL Edged-cinnamon cock and hen to an elderly breeder who owned "fallow" birds years ago but lost the line. He was so happy and till today it is evident when I saw him.
Your observation of the feet is an indication of cinnamon and if you look at the flights you will see the yellow/green colour I explained. I suggest you pair her with a cinnamon cock to proof the point. SL Edged-cinnamon in combination with other mutations are pretty.
What about a violet blue harlequin/cinnamon cock. I think the effect of SL Edged and Cinnamon in combination with harlequin will be pretty.
Attached a pic of my SL Edged ADM Pied hen (btw I believe cinnamon is also present)

Great, I only own 2 harlequins and have so many plans that the combo with SL Edged must wait until 2014. I hope your pair produce this year, I am curious to see what the combo will bring to the table.

Tienie, yes will try and find a Cinnamon cock- I like the DFCinnamon expression- all babies from that pair will only be split to SL Edged though, so this will be an ongoing project
Will keep everyone updated on this bird- and get better pics when moved into the other aviary

Shey,
No splits from that hen, most likely it is dominant sl edged & there's no df cinnamon
all males will be visual dom sl edged. see madas gen calc.

- well you learn something new everyday- hey? I automatically but wrongly assumed that there could be df Cinnamon...but now that I think about it... is this because it is sexlinked recessive?
I can't install Stefan's calc- computer won't allow- however I've now noticed that there is a second Edged Dilution on the other calc- but is the outcome for this one not correct- as you said that only the males would be visual?

Yes, the website gen calc calculates only dominant and ignores SL => wrong outcome will be given.
All males will be edged and you can nest sex them.
