Just wondering if there is a way to tell if a baby with down will be a yellowface or do you have to wait until the head feathers start to show?

 

Thank you

Once they are at this stage 126-1.jpg

you will see a pale yellowish tinge to the feathers just above the cere, in birds that are not green series.

Thanks Kaz the photo was very helpful also, I have 5 babies in a nest with the 6th (and final one) due tomorrow.

I was looking at the eldest one today and he had that grey/blue tinge to his wings and head but as in your photo those babies also have that colouring and are still yellowface so I will still be keeping fingers crossed for lots of them to be yellowfaces.

The father of my lot is a violet opaline and the mother is a yf opaline but she is a green colour with blue under her wings I have posted about the pair before for their mutations and offspring percentages thanks again. :D

I even showed the hubby haha :D ... lucky he knows even less than I do but I will keep fingers crossed anyway and just have to wait till the pins start showing. :D
