hmm.. doesn't look quite 'right' in my mind for Cinnamon also?? In my clutch last year I had 1 hatched with light feet, light nails and one with lightish feet and darker nails- both turned out to be edged birds. Both are virtually identical in colouring apart from their feet even to this day (they'l...

Maybe your other left, right?

Haha, yes.. My other left.. must of had a blonde moment

Very dark birds, a lot of greyish toned color If the first one is vio cobalt well.. my vio cob looks like this: http://parakeet.me/irn/f/cobVio.jpg could be the lighting and type of camera used.

I guessed dfDark Blue for the bird at the front on the far right side. for the next greyish bird I guessed dfViolet sfDark (which I since found isn't the case) the one next to it, is it a sfViolet sfDark too?

Lost me on the rest. NT Violets and this Australian Deep are going to do my head in

GreyGreen is a combination of the Grey mutation and wildtype Green. as to how much they sell for- it depends on your location, for example in my area they sell for around the same as pet Greens and Blues

sheyd

Hi Lushen, they appear to be normal Greens to me.

The light feet and claws has me thinking yes. I'd still like to see a pic taken of her taken in natural light ie- you stand with your back against a window holding her out in front while you take a pic.

sheyd

very true Molly.

Ben, love the fact all your babies will be edge- no guessing as to what's what- I would imagine to be very hard otherwise.

sheyd

left is a df SL Edge- the other a Dom Pied not so anymore. someone was selling their blue edged cocks for $350 each! :shock: I've picked all mine up for under 60 each 8) Incidentally the same people that sold their chicks for that amount above, bought the dam as a Blue Dom Pied, were clearly disappo...

Great set of pics- do you think Willy could throw sfDark and Euro sfViolet Blues into the mix?

a 'rainbow' is nothing more than a TurquoiseBlue Pallid. People come up with fancy names to make the bird sound more appealing.

Markus Erhenbrink had some photos of his Misty Blue Pallid hen- it was washed in grey.

Nobody is convinced, breeding results is the only way to prove either way.

exactly.

sheyd

you said whiten not lighten. anyhow, 'misty' always seems to get 'added' to birds that are of the sl edged mutation- don't know how many times I've counted where breeders thought that Misty was also in an edged bird. I believe edged birds just seem to have a quality that is similar to Misty. If a 'w...

sheyd

well okay then.. every second bird

I'd love you to show me a Blue Misty here in Oz, that is genuinely like the Misty's o/s-- Got one?

It has also been pointed out before, that Misty doesn't cause whiteness.

sheyd

May have just been luck on the breeders part- certainly Violet and Blue are non sex-linked - Hope it turns out the sex you want (you have a 50/50 chance!) Just had a thought- I haven't heard of a 'dutch blue' perhaps they meant 'sky blue' which is actually Cinnamon Blue? - which would make sense as ...

sheyd

In some instances you can nest sex chicks- for that to happen the cock needs to be either visual or split for a sex linked mutation- ex Cinnamon Blue cock x Blue hen = 100% blue cocks, and 100% Cinnamon Blue hens.

What mutations were the parents of your chicks?

sheyd

Ben you think misty for everything

Hen looks like a normal Pallid to me.

I have seen a similar bird- was a combo of Pallid or Pied (can't remember as I can't find it now) and SL Edged. Looked the same but was in Violet- very striking

sheyd

no, not true at all. The chick could be of either sex as the violet mutation is not sex-linked.

sheyd

Hi Paul, Johan and Jacob. I haven't thought too much on what to pair him with, or even if I will this year. I did have a thought about pulling the df Violet out and putting him in with my Cinn Edge hen for hopefully some df Edge babies- but am still umming and ahhing about this. Cleartail in the lon...

Thanks, that's very interesting-- will be looking forward to updates

sheyd

Thanks Peter

sheyd

Ben- can you see with your eye the violet colouring- or is it something the camera picks up on?

sheyd

He is, and thanks!

sheyd

Peter, was the last pic taken with a flash?

sheyd

a nice cock bird

sheyd

Ben, you don't need to of taken a lot of pics with flash-- others have already done the work for you (plenty of people like to take pics with flash on sale ads ect, ect)- I've been specifically looking for and am yet to see a non-red eyed mutation show a red eye with a flash- I've tried my own exper...

sheyd

Hi again..

Your little one is just a normal Blue. If he's a male he'll get a nice bright head at maturity (like my avatar)

enjoy

sheyd

yep, 100% hybrid Green- cocks will be split Ino

Why don't you find some Pure mutation birds rather than hybridizing them with Indian Ringnecks?

sheyd

Ring0Neck wrote:The red eye might be from the flash/angle of the eye & in fact there could be no red eye.

Don't believe I've ever seen a pic of a IRN having red eyes (due to flash) that weren't already of a mutation that are hatched with red eyes. Do you have an example?

sheyd

looks grey to me too.

sheyd

Yes, Grey.. those feathers don't look so good

closeup pic of unbleached tail of Cinn Edged hen

sheyd

the pic is too dark to be able to make an informed guess.. With the light, you want to be standing between it (the light) and your subject (the bird)- hope this helps

sheyd

Looking on my phone which is not the best for colours, my guess is either a GreyGreen CHF or Cinnamon GreyGreen CHF

sheyd

wow! that is stunning!

ROFL. You can ask 10 different breeders and often get 10 different answers for labels on bird coloration.

Guess it depends if the breeder is knowledgable ;)

Darkfactor is simply known as Dark, and on the gencalc outcomes as 'D'

Ringo- did you get any other Greys out of the same clutch?
