ok...my female isn't a pearl...this is what so confused me
about it....the whiteface being a recessive i
understand....but thanks, the pearls are beautiful...the
normal grey is so dark it's almost black...very pretty.
anyway, i love them all i just thought i'd get some pieds out
of her since she is so heavy pied herself...thanks,jill
