But she is not the mom to this chick, the parents are as I said a REL cock to a violet hen??? So is this chick mauve or grey or what? This is some of the clutch the chick in question is in the left corner, mom is hidden on the right side Link to comment

Unless the Lacewing cock is Masking Grey it should be Mauve, as you need at least one Grey to get Grey. Link to comment

From them I got a healthy beautiful clutch 2 just like Dad, REL, 1 violet like mom, one is a real light colored violet and appears to be a greywing?? and then the mauve or grey???? Most are pictured in the nestbox and mom is in there as well. The green/yellow coloring on his face is from the fresh spinach at breakfast feeding, he is not yellowface. Here is Dad and mom: and another closer of mom: Edited June 28, 2008 by sueannleach Link to comment

By body colour and cheek patches and parents it's a Mauve from me. Edited June 28, 2008 by *libby* Link to comment

The cheek patch may be on the blueish side but that comes from the grey being bred from blues and the grey modifer not quite masking all the blue , but I have never seen a grey with a Violet cheek patch Link to comment
