*Nerwen*

at that age a hen is normally pale blue with white on the cere. Can you tell us some behaviours? Does the bird sing much? and are the noises often with soft mutterings or sudden and loud?

can you tell us the age of the bird?

one on the bottom is opaline, all others are normals by itself you can see the noraml black pins on the wings and the white pins (start of down feathers) on the body

they are just sex linked genes not recessive as well. and he is also split for blue which is how you got the one blue chick.

sounds like a hen as males at any time do not have pale blue. the behavior will be because of the placement, they are social birds and don't like to be separated. Hedwig will be bossier as it is her home and she is in the higher cage.

yes you have the girl bit right

i think dave is right.

Miki - cobalt dominant pied hen Nada- dark green dominant pied male

wait Clearwings are meant to have full coloured tails, this one has a grey tail which is a sign for greywing.

male

Jazz is correct a light green spangle Blue is a yellow face type 2 dominant pied Greywing

jesse sounds like a hen, with Darla are we talking a pale blue or dark blue? and also what are the age of the birds?

you can't go with the head markings (cheek patches) with this bird as the pied gene affects them

agree with what you have stated

i agree they sound like mauves

looks dark green to me too. and age around 6 - 8 months. no head bars so it has had one moult already

Kaz - you missed spangled. very cute but even with clipped wings it isn't a good idea to have you bird outside, it can panic and try to fly, crash and hurt itself. some can still travel a fair distance and then there is other wildlife that can harm it.

CHICK 1 - hen CHICK 2 - hen CHICK 3 - hen CHICK 4 - Cock CHICK 5 - Cock CHICK 6 - Cock CHICK 7 - hen

yes renee it can be a sign of chlamydia but there are other signed with that disease, you would be best to have a vet check him out.

it is the same as yellowface 2 also called Australian yellowface

real life is always better than photos, what did you think suits more grey or brown? we might ask for sunshine shots with no flash to get a better idea.

so cute, looks and sounds like you got the best of the crop :rofl:

congrats on the egg, and as Kaz states add it in now. also if you tap on the box to get mum out first it is easier to check eggs and that she is moving okay at the same time. she will also know you are checking if you tap first and not get startled. They get use to you checking each day too

love the grey

yep just as cobalts can come in slightly different shades
