Young Blue female IRN with pale pinkish beak

I have a young DNA'd female Blue IRN (mother was gray and father was blue) and her beak is not red but more pale pinkish. I had someone ask me about this and I don't know if it is because her mother was grey, maybe a mutation thing? However, I have a violet/cobalt female baby that also has a lighter...

Re: Violet/Cobalt Hen?

So my blue male won't carry any of the gene from the mother or throw any violet or violet cobalt at all? I know they saw that the female offspring won't be split but I felt sure the male would be.

Re: Violet/Cobalt Hen?

I have a crappy camera that just is not capable of capturing the coloring of these gorgeous birds, plus the mother bird is in full molt right now.

Re: Not sure what "color" 2 of my babies are

Re: Not sure what "color" 2 of my babies are

I do believe the Creamino is a female (I quite often can tell from the behaviour lol). The grey lacewing however I do believe is a male (again from behaviour). That pair do also throw blue lacewings, which in the past have been males (Dna'd). They have had grey lacewings before but since they were k...

Not sure what "color" 2 of my babies are

First I have a baby from a Blue male and grey female. I have had this pair for 7-8 years and they always throw blue, grey and what I was calling lacewings. However after reading some of the posts on here I am not so sure that is what they are. This baby is very light silver with a white tail and MAY...
