Hello to all you birdies and humans out "there!" I am new to IRN.com and want to say thanks for all of the great information I have discovered here. I had never been owned by an IRN before,(until recently) so this is truly shaping up to be quite a hilarious little adventure. She is about 8-9 weeks old now and is completely weaned and friendly. She is the amigo(in bird form) that I have always been searching for!
I have a few quick questions:
What do you call a silver(light gray) hen with a white head?
Is she a cinnamon gray?
Is there another name for this color?
Finally, how would I pair her to get a white headed, blue, turquoise bird?
Any information would help
Have a great day!

It sounds like you have a cinnamon grey lacewing or cinnamon grey clearhead fallow. But if its a lacewing it probably just a grey lacewing. if you can post a picture of her I will be able to help you out in picking the perfect male for her

Thanks for the warm welcome David, and for the speedy response!
I uploaded the pictures as you instructed... and I am patiently waiting to read what you respond.
It is so exciting finding out what the color actually happens to be.
One of her parents was visual lutino... I think her dad.
I think her mom was visually the same color as Ophelia. If not the dad looked like her and mom was a lutino....
thanks again,

Hi,
I am pretty sure you have a grey lacewing. They are very nice looking birds after molting.
And to your first question. How to get white headed blue and turquoise.
well a blue lacewings head would be white and look like this picture below
and the turquoise lacewing will have a yellow head, white tail, and green yellow and blue body.
Now what to pair with your grey to get both these colours?
ok
There is no way that you can get both mutations no matter what you put with it. If you want turquoise and grey lacewing babies then buy a tuquoise blue lacewing male. if you want blue and grey babies buy a blue male lacewing. if u have anymore questions just ask
