What colour are these chicks, please?

Post by willowisp71 »

Hi all,

After doing the calculations, I'm fairly certain that these 2 chicks SHOULD be female, and cinnamon grey or silver? Would anyone like to add their opinion please?

Parents are:

1.0 grey(sf) blue cinnamon
x 0.1 blue pallid
% from all 1.0
50.0% 1.0 grey(sf) blue /cinnamon pallid
50.0% 1.0 blue /cinnamon pallid
% from all 0.1
50.0% 0.1 grey(sf) blue cinnamon
50.0% 0.1 blue cinnamon

Cheers :D

Madas? molossus? rod038? Ring0neck? Anyone able to please shed some light on the colour (and gender) of these 2 babies?

I am in contact with the breeding and looking at buying one when they are fully weaned, about the end of November, as a companion (and future mate?) for my blue boy :)

Your opinion is eagerly awaited, guys! :lol: :D

Thanks!

Hi

If the babies toenails are a very pale grey, they will be grey cinn, if the toenails are dark grey/black they will be normal grey. I can't see the feet clearly in the picture. Hope that helps

Thanks Carmen :D

The breeder will be posting more pics later this week. Hopefully the toenails will be visible in the next photo's, and I'll have a good look at them :)
