Posted November 23, 200717 yr This is Dad - cobalt normal This is Mum - Violet Cinnamon Opaline This is chick 1 and 2 in the box (maybe blue or hopefully violet opaline) Chick 1 Chick 3 (I thought was going to be grey but I see blue tail feathers in this photo) Chick 4 is the same as chick 3 and chick 5 is yet to feather up. What do you think?
November 23, 200717 yr Those two oldest chicks are definitely Opalines & look like being Violet too. Chick three looks like being a Normal Blue, like Dad…Dad must be Split for Opaline for you to get Opaline chicks, so they can be either sex. They look good.
November 30, 200717 yr Author Some updated pictures of our chicks. Would someone care to guess the sexes?? Chick 1. 27 days - Opaline Violet? Chick 2. 26 days - Opaline Violet also? Seems have a dark beak? Chick 3. 23 days - Cinnamon wing blue? Very pretty Chick 4. 22 days - Cobalt normal like Dad? Another dark beak and cere? Chick 5. 18 days - Another opaline? Some have really dark beaks and dark ceres, I tried to clean it off but it doesn't come off?
November 30, 200717 yr 1st one looks female the oplane violet 2nd one looks male the skyblue 3rd with the real black cere not a clue 4th one I can't tell either Those are my guess...:sad: they are beautiful
November 30, 200717 yr Please dont try and clean the black off......it wont come off. It like someone trying to scrub off your freckles :sad: Its part of the colour of their beak. Its a melanin thing and will change over the next few weeks. Some top breeders in the world keep the chicks that start out with black beaks ...they see it as a good sign.
December 1, 200717 yr first two look female the third might be male and the last two are too young (or marked) to tell.
