Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Poultry World, Vol. 6: October, 1915 As in most of the feathers of the other sections of the Light Brahma plumage, the neck feathers also possess. An undercolor. This undercolor varies in intensity from a light pearl shade to a heavy coal black, and starting at the base of feather generally carries from to the length of the feather. My interpretation of an ideal male neck feather on a dark male would be one that had a _solid black web that was rich in a. Bottle green lustre With a sharp white edging that extend ed from undercolor down the both sides and carried perfectly around the tip of the feather; under color for such a bird to be of a heavy coal dull black and there to be no break or shafting or mealiness in any part of the feather, especially at junction of undercolor and lustrous black of Web. On. Sound light male I would expect just as Strongly colored web and edging, but would not look nor insist on as dark an undercolor as in the dark bird, the latter being more of a bluish grey on the lighter bird. However, there need not be much fear as to what the undercolor is so long as the black web gradually shades off as it reaches its base, without showing any signs of shafting or breaking and is perfectly edged with white. Most generally the birds that have a black feather clear to the base are possessed of a very short white edging and length of this white-edging is of greater importance to set off the black of the feather, than is the great depth of black.
