Re: Can (turquoise/emerald) Parblue ever be a Dominant Mutat
Hi allair,
The bird in the pictures is a 4 month old IndigoTurquoise hen. I expect her color to change a lot over the next couple of moults. Keep us posted with pics of your bird as He/she matures

Re: Can (turquoise/emerald) Parblue ever be a Dominant Mutat
Allair...do you happen to have a pic of the mom? You said she was a rainbow, which I believe is a turquoise pallid. Could she possibly be an indigo or emerald pallid? I'm interested to see the outcome of your photos.

Most likely after the hen lays the first egg she won't let the male breed her again so by the time the fourth egg makes its way down there is nothing to fertilize it.
