May 14, 200718 yr first of all, beautiful flock!! Ill do it in the order you posted the pictures okay? 1. Foxy: skyblue (i think i see cinnamon, are his wings black and white or is the black looking more like greyish brown??) 2. snowdrop: i think albino (if you see brown anywhere its a lacewing) 3. Bluey: sky blue yellowface type 1 opaline 4. Grave: not sure (grey clearflight pied maybe...) 5. Sunny: Lutino 6. bluebell: sky blue dilute (not sure) 7. Breeze: sky blue recessive pied i am not sure 100 percent with anyone of those so daz, feathers, elly, or ellulah will tell you...(those are the genetic expert people right?)

May 14, 200718 yr Snowdrop does he/she have red eyes? Bluebell do you have shot of the back of the wings? I suggest taking closer and clear pics of the birds back and front that really helps with no flash. The flash can sometimes make black look brown and wash out the colors. pretty flock
May 14, 200718 yr Author hi elly bluebell has black eyes.but looks either lace wing/spangled? hi marlony snow drop red eyes but has tinted brown bits could be lace wing? foxy is a hen bird could that be why her wings are brown? i have written down the notes so far .i will try to get close up pics of snow drop and bluebell. i think the only one i got right waqs sunny and you cant mistake her to be lutino.
May 14, 200718 yr than i believe bluebell is lacewing... (elly, is there a dark eyed clear lacewing???)-that would make sense then... foxy: if not completely black its a cinnamon. It has notthing to do with gender.. maybe greywing but i dont think so. any chance for another picture??? snowdrop is lacewing!! Edited May 14, 200718 yr by Marlony
May 14, 200718 yr A lacewing is an albino with cinnamon markings so if they eyes are dark it is not a lacewing. I really need a better picture of the bird. From the picture I can't personally tell if it is a blue hue or if the bird is really just a light blue. If it is a blue hue it could be a double factor spangle (iris rings present) or a dark eyed clear (no iris rings) Snowdrop, I see the red eyes and with the brown marking would make her a lacewing. Bluey would be a yellow face type 2 if there is yellow bleeding into the chest making him green the more he molts you may find the more the yellowface gene spreads and this can turn a blue bird a "seafoam" green coloring. Foxy is not a hen because the brown wing. Brown wings are the cinnamon mutation and can be found on male and females. as for knowing if the bird is split for different genes that is unknown unless you know the parents, grandparents and so forth.
May 15, 200717 yr Author bluebell new close up. snowdrop( left)- foxy (right) hope this are not to big kaz?
May 15, 200717 yr not too big but too small (Laughing out loud) but that is okay, if you could enlarge just a bit that would be good. From here bluebell looks like a greywing
May 15, 200717 yr bluebell new close up. snowdrop( left)- foxy (right) hope this are not to big kaz? For photobucket...they have an edit feature...you choose the email/ website size, not the avatar size you have posted. Cheers kaz
May 15, 200717 yr Author bluebell new baby snowdrop- foxy hope this is better kaz? i am making notes so i can keep for a breeding profile etc.these pics should be better now hopefully please still let know the colour mutations though?thanks
May 15, 200717 yr bluebell is either 1 a dilute she is very light or 2 a greywing the bottom blue one is a cobalt normal I belive the first picture was the sun making the wings look brown that happens to my Merlin too
