I've heard talk about the "redheaded hen" in the Pensom line .Does anyone have a picture of it?Does it look like a nun marked roller?I'm curious because I have a line of nun marked rollers from the pensom lineThey are some of the fastest -deepest birds I have.REDS AND YELLOWS.

Starfire,
You can order the book for only $12 and treasure it for a long time. It is a very intersting reading..

Stan, I believe she was called that because she was hatched with a patch of recessive red on her head. At least that is the story I was told.

Stan, the red head hen was black with small red feathers on her head, no BIB, My guess is the yellow you have is not pure PENSOM as i only know of two he ever kept, The yellow sounds like a FIREBALL, many were nun marked ..white..i refer to as bibs Most Fireballs were deep deep spinners,these birds had a wealth of feathers, some tail feathers are the widest ive ever seen...TAKE CARE...LEO
