gnipper 6,543 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Yeah gnash its supposed to be a lethal gene if bred together like merle dogs and silver ferrets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,470 Posted June 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Oh right ok then .........ive just had some chicks from a Corona and a normal Fife Canary and ones come out with kind of a half hearted crest,the other 2 are just normal...........so a Consort is a Gloster without the crest then......think id struggle to tell them apart from a normal Fife the haircut is the only way i can distinguish them at the moment.....well cheers anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hot Meat 3,109 Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Even good glosters without a crest should have eyebrows so to speak. Have a google about and find pics belonging to a man named Bob Wright he was one of the best breeders around when I last had anything to do with birds. But his pics should show good glosters of all types. All the best with them 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
