As this bird moults, it will get more dark flecks or "break".  More so if it is a cock.

Excellent coloring, especially for a hen.  With Almonds, hens don't get as dark as cocks do as they age.

Some Almonds like this can appear nearly White with only a yellowish coloring in the neck and a few black flecks.

As Almonds get older, they get more "break" or get darker, especially in cock birds.

In the Modena breed, Almond is referred to as "Magnani" or "Mag".

Possibly Ash Red Almond.

This bird will get darker every year.  He will moult in more Black with each season.  This is simply Black Almond.

DeRoy is simply Almond on Recessive Red.  Usually DeRoys show very little break and will appear as an off-colored Recessive Red or Yellow. 

Note how much lighter this hen is compared to the Spread Almond cock far left.  Hens don't get as dark as the cocks do.

Simply a stunning combination here!!

The cock (left) MAY be a Black Almond with no Bronzing at all.  The hen (right) is Hickory (I believe).

This is the ideal ground coloring for Classic Almond.  Very good example.  ESF Tumblers are the standard for Classic Almonds to many.

Again, excellent ground coloring!!

This is a great picture of an older Almond cock.  This is on a Blue ground color.  This bird would have been much lighter in color when he was younger.

This bird is also an older cock bird, but showing a good deal of Bronzing.  This bird could be Almond Tort.

This hen must be an older bird as she does show some darker break, but not nearly as much as a cock bird would.

This is a very good picture of a Classic Almond colored bird.  Notice the "break" in the tail feathers.  Ideal break is the presence of Blue, Brown, and White in each feather.

This is a Classic Almond in combination with Monk markings.

I believe it to be on a T-Check pattern, but may be Spread.

This Kite shows heavy Bronzing in the wing shield.  Most Kites will not show this much Bronzing.

This is an excellent Kite colored bird.  Notice the Bronze coloring in the neck and breast.  You can also see some Bronzing in the wings as well.

Notice the rich bronze coloring throughout.  This is the type of Kite that is perfect from breeding Classic Almonds.

When we refer to "Blue Qualmond" we are usually talking about Qualmond on Blue Bar.  Sometimes they will show Bars and other times will look like this bird.

One of the expressions of Qualmond on Blue Bar where the bird shows Bars.

This bird shows some reddish lacing in the wings.

Also Qualmond on Blue Check.

Also on Blue Check.

This could also be called Lavender Qualmond.  Still a young bird.  Will get pics as it gets older and changes (if it changes at all).

This Qualmond shows some of the typical Bronzing that some Qualmonds have.

David Longseth

Not 100% if this is on Blue or Brown.  There is too much Bronzing to tell for sure.

A beautiful combination of Reduced and Qualmond on a Brown base color.  Nice pastel coloring!!

Another stunning combination like the bird to your left but with blue as the base color.

This bird will carry Barless.

This is a Spread bird that will be really pretty when he is done with the moult.

Showing some Bronzing.

This bird is the father of the Qualmond Bar cock above.

For a long time we couldn't figure out how Red Mottles were coming from a Qualmond cock and a Blue Bar hen.  Through breeding, we have established that this bird is Recessive Red Qualmond.

This bird is the father of the two YC Qualmonds above.

Same story as the Red Qualmond far left.  Genetically this bird is Recessive Yellow Qualmond.  We should note here that with this hen and the Recessive Red Qualmond cock, there is no hint of any difference visually between these and a typical Recessive Red or Yellow Mottle.
