The last two projects involve varieties based upon a pattern called Birchen. They are a solid color body with striped necks and laced breast feathers. Males also have striped feathers leading into their tails. The lace pattern is reversed from the normal Laced pattern in that the feather edges are a lighter color than the center area which matches the body color. The third project will involve the black body varieties called Silver Birchen and Brown Red. Here are photos of adults.
