Standard - Satinette Addendum
COLOR STANDARD: Variation in color markings in the
several varieties of Oriental Frills.
GENERAL.: Color markings in Satinettes and Blondinettes are
identical except for the color white. In Satinettes the
head, neck and breast, body under parts, muffs and the
primary flights 10x10, not less than 5, must be white. The
beak is pale flesh color, and the eye very dark brown. The
wing coverts (including lesser, median and greater coverts.
tertials, scapulars, and secondary wing flights) and tail
feathers of the Satinette are identical to those of the
Blondinette of the same color. The Blondinette, lacking the
designated white areas of the Satinette, is essentially the
same color throughout.
Ground color of the laced or spot feathers of both
Satinettes and Blondinettes should be as clear white as
possible except in the case of sulphur varieties described
below. The laced feathers have quills of the basic color of
the bird. Lacing or edging, whether heavy, medium or fine,
penciled, arrow pointed or ticked, must be distinct, even
regular and well defined.
BLACK LACED SATINETTES
Each feather of the wings and tail (from a line across the
rump), except those of the prescribed white arcs, should be
edged in black-coal black.
DUN LACED SATINETTES
Same as black except the edging in colored feathers is a
deep, lustrous metallic dun-dark gun metal. (So called light
color duns-browns and khakis-should be excluded from this
class when possible by the judge and shown in proper class
provided for them)
BLUE LACED SATINETTES
Each colored feather of the wings should be edged in the
grey-black or blue-black color of a normal checkered pigeon.
This edging must be even whether penciled, arrow pointed, or
ticked, preference to be given in the order named. Tail,
dark blue, having a black band at lower extremity. On this
band, or replacing it evenly in each feather, should be a
clear round white spot," moon", or bar, clearly defined and
limited to the band area.
SILVER LACED SATINETTES
Same as blue, except that wing feather edging is the soft
silvery gray or gray-black of a normal silver checkered
pigeon. Tail, gray or light grayish blue with a dark gray or
gray-black bar, marked as in blue, above. (True dun is
permissible in lacing or tail bars if tail is distinctly
gray or gray blue. No birds with reddish or brown lacing, or
with fawn, tan or brown color in tails is permitted-such
birds to be placed in class provided for them by the judge.
BLUE BAR SATINETTES ---BLUETTE
Each colored feather of the wings should be a clear solid
blue, of the normal blue-gray pigeon color, with two clear
cut white bars, edged at lower extremity with black. Tail
marked as in blue laced Satinette.
SILVER BAR SATINETTE--SILVERETTE
Same as blue bar except colored wing feathers should be
clear soft silver gray-silver of the normal silver bar
pigeon. Bars as in the Bluette above but edged with dark
gray or gray-black. True dun permissible in bars and tail
markings providing tail is distinctly gray or gray-blue.
Fawn, brown-silver or brownish casts in wings or tail, or
chocolate brown bars should result in exclusion by the judge
and placing in class provided for browns.
BROWN LACED SATINETTES-LACED TAIL
Same as black-laced Satinette except edging of wing and tail
feathers should be a clear brown-chocolate brown preferred.
KHAKI LACED SATINETTES-LACED TAIL
Same as brown laced, above, except edging of feathers should
be a clear pale brown (light tan or khaki). (Since these are
sometimes difficult to differentiate from brown laced above,
they may be shown in the same or separate classes, according
to decision of the judge.
BROWN LACED SATINETTES-SPOT TAIL
Same as blue laced Satinette except that edging of wing
feathers shall be true brown (chocolate brown preferred),
and tail feathers definitely brown. Reddish brown in wing
lacing may be permitted and brownish gray or fawn may be
permitted in tail only if in the opinion of the judge the
majority of the class is generally of the same coloring.
KHAKI LACED SATINETTE-SPOT TAIL
Same as brown laced except feather edging on wings should be
a very light grayish-brown-as close to khaki color as
possible. Tails should be light gray-brown also, with dark
buff or light brownish bars on which the spots appear.
Generally this bird has a yellowish-khaki cast.

Same as Bluette, feathers of wings being brown, preferably a
clear light creamy brown, with white bars which, if edged,
preferably are chocolate brown. Tail as in brunette.
KHAKI BAR SATINETTE
