interesting- do you have a photo of the sire of the four youngsters- if two are indeed SL Edged (one cock, one hen), then he needs to be SL Edged himself- as an edged hen is unable to have SL Edged female offspring unless she is paired to one herself.

Do you have a pic of the Grand dam (of the 4 youngsters) on the fathers side?

finally, it is a bit difficult to try and make out much detail in some of the pics- helps to post to a site like Photobucket:
http://s920.photobucket.com/ and then upload on here for larger pics.

Slightly off topic... what would a Cinnamon Clearheaded Fallow look like?

It is beautiful pics. Very interesting line. I know CHF is a grey fallow but these birds look like misty imo.

Please post a close up pic of the blue/chf cock (father to the babies), if he is a badly marked Blue SL Edged/chf it can still be edged with babies in both sexes.

I will have to sex my 2 SL Edged CHF birds to guide us in phenotype difference between male and female.

Is it not the same for CHF? light brown/beige feather shafts for hens, and dark Grey/Black for sf cocks?

Paul, very interesting birds! The first thing that stands out for me is that the flight feathers and the tail feathers are not both affected, as would be the case for SL edged. At least not one I've ever seen. This effect also seems more pronounced for the father of the mother rather than the father of the father (hope that isn't confusing). I'm not sure if misty would have this effect as I have no experience with misty. There are other possibilities too worth a brainstorming session. Clear flights are a marker of pied types, but it could also be a different type of edged. In other species a non-SL edged exists, and in IRN a rare recessive edged also exists. The first thing to establish from this line is the mode of inheritance.

Tienie, how does your SL edged CHF birds' tails look? Does it show the edging?

Hi all
Here is a photo of the father to the edged youngsters this bird along with 4 blue split chf fallow brothers all looked to be typical chf (coloured) only they did'nt have the red eyes or clearhead I had one IRN breeder visit me and he had me catch up these splits to examine them close up as he couldn't understand how these birds have the body colour of a chf when they are split their hue changes slightly at the second year moult. Another interesting feature is the proginator cock is black eyed with a normal iris .The photo attached ideally would have our father bird ( of young ) with a normal blue for reference bird in the same photo however we are currently having heat wave conditions that are not favourable to chasing birds about. The father bird photographed is currently moulting and doesn't have his full tail the photo has been taken in natural light without flash. This father bird (of young) was sired by the proginator cock the grand dam has been lost however she was not related to proginator cock therefore we can move on without her she was a split chf from N Armstrong line I believe. I have 2 x violet blue split chf brothers and sister that were bred the same way as the father (of young) and his 4 brothers, these birds are currently moulting too heavy to do anything with.

The white flight blue chf (father of mother) was sired by the proginator.

Cheers
Paul

update as promised on the sf SL Edged youngster who has completed his first semi moult

Image

I am not sure if he is Cinnamon also, but suspect it- will be test breeding his sire with a Cinn hen for this season-

Here's as he appeared before-

I'm fairly sure he has Cinnamon- which would explain his overall colour - I just need to wait for this season (if true, sire is split- and will be going with a Cinn hen this season) and the next for the youngster to prove it.

Wildtype is the sire

hey guys I was wondering with SL edged can you only breed DF edged males if you put up a pair of SL edged together

As long as the the cock is sf, you'll get both df and sf cocks- as well as normal and edged hens- if he is df then you'll produce only df cocks, as well as edged hens.

You can't breed a SL Edged(df) female because females only have one Z-Chromosome which is relevant for the resulting phenotype. The W-chromsome of a female is atrophied and so not able to affect the phenotype. Therefore you can't breed a female Pallid-Ino too. :)

Sorry but cock1 is not the same mutation (combination) like cock2. Cock1 looks FUSI like and cock2 looks like a SL Edged(df) blue or a very good colored SL Edged(sf). :)

:lol: Good pickup Madas , didn't notice there was 2 diff birds.

Agree, just on Fusi i think = DF Edged Cinnamon or Dilute?/Misty?
I have setup a pair that should test for the second mutation if a rec. mutation is in play like Dilute.

Eagle eyes! :lol:

Looking at the tails, I'd say the first one is a DF edged male (or a combination) and the second bird a SF edged male.

okay, getting confused here..

Madas pointed out that there were two birds -which i obviously knew,- since I posted them (and labeled them cock 1 and cock 2), and you pointed out only one was a df, which is what I missed, when I was sent these last night :)

I don't particularly like quoting myself...

@Shey, consider again the point above, but I suppose we don't have to limit it to hens. Now have a look at this bird that was recently advertised on an Oz FB page as a cobalt cinnamon cock.

Thoughts?
sheyd wrote:yes- I spotted him right away- he now belongs to my friend Nigel :mrgreen:

prob lies with Oz not being up to speed with the rest of the world- they simply don't know what they are- if it's lighter then it's Cinnamon no questions asked :roll:


I will ask if I can upload some wing shots-- he is beautiful!

Kappa, that's a good question. I'd go with something like a cobalt violet cleartail. The edging on this bird is well defined, so I reckon it would be wonderful to breed a bird like him, with a clear head and tail. It'll take some time, though.
