Self Red

This is a less popular and very rare color. The red need to be recessive (stone red) without any blue shine.The eyes are in tricolor with light pink eyeborders. The beak and nails are horn colored.

The self red is one of the most difficult colors to breed. Blue shine, short legs and a too small globe are common mistakes.

Because they are very rare, you don't find much breeders anymore at the moment. Their level is low.
