Axi Identification - Copper or Gold Albino

[Rick Douglass]

Hi I have this Axi that has now laid eggs. She is odd looking in that of late she is looking more like a golden albino but still has a lot of brown tinge in her colour.
She was part of a batch of eggs that had a lot of unknown deaths. I ended up with about 10 survive out of 50. All look like her. There was also obvious golden albinos in the batch but all died.
She had dark eyes (with wild type rings) for at least the first year and was brown like a copper for this time also and has only just developed more golden over the last 6 mths. (She is now about 3years old). Her eyes are more like a gold albino now but have rings like wild type.
Her eggs are white.
Is she just a gold albino that took a long time to reach colour? I was sure she was a copper when she was younger.
Photo attached looks more gold than in real life. She is light brown with a hint of gold in real life. I don't remember what her parents were as I purchased the eggs online.

cheers
Rick

That's definitely a copper though a few weeks ago a guy on here mentioned how his wild type of five years lost all it's color and looks like a leucistic. A leucistic becoming darker usually happens. On that thread, I attached a link to an article of when this phenomenon had happened before in observance and one hypothesis offered was the wild in that instance may have had leucistic DNA. It's possible that this copper may have golden albino DNA. It'd be interesting to see if yours continues to look more golden.

Ok, thanks. Yeah I saw that post about the lost colour. I will keep you posted about any more changes in her colour. Her eggs have beaned up and the dad is a black melanoid, will be interesting to see what they end up like. Would like more coppers (assuming that's what she is).
I have raised all standard axi colour types in the past without issues but the batch that she came from were weak, which makes me think that the copper genetics/mutations may be weaker?

Turned out about 40% Leucistic, 30% Wild & 30% Black Melanoid

This is called vitiligo, it’s not because it has Lucy dna it’s a skin condition that makes the host lose pigment.
