Hi again everyone. Just wondering if someone could break it down for me I paired my Redeye Lacewing with a Violet hen they hatched 5 healthy chicks beautiful...but 2 are REL, 1 is Kobalt ??, 1 is a real light color violet with looks like grey on its wings and the other just the tail feathers and a little on the belly are out but they look grey!?? Will post pics of the parents and the chicks tomorrow, sorry none available tonite, but will add it to this topic tomorrow. I am not understanding where the grey would be from? All this information is sooo confusing. I dont know how you all have it figured out!

I'll wait for the pics, But

 

To break some of it down to you, Grey and Violet are an "ADDED" colour ( factor) not a "REAL" colour

To get lacewings you need to have one lace wing and at least a / ( split) lacewing ...

I am assuming that your lacewing is the blue series ( white with the brown marknings)

other wise if it is the Yellow one it has to be /blue ... to get your cobalts ...

The Grey markings you are seeing MAYBE the "Normal" part of the bird the black wing markings

 

I hope this has made sense, If not I am sure that someone else would LOL

Best to post your pics and we all will be able to help shed som Light on this for you ..

 

P.S ... Congrats on the babies

They look great :hap:

 

Love the little lacewings.

They grey one looks blue to me

My mistake and I don't know how to edit it now that it is posted, but the first picture of the grey chick should NOT BE THERE.. my apologies for the confusion, but I do not know how to take that picture out..?? The other 2 are of the grey chick. Sue Ann

Thats okay. One of the Mods will come by and edit it for you. They will change the photos to links because they are too big - photo bucket should give you an option to shrink them to 640X480

 

I dont know where the grey gene would have come from I am not good with genetics :sad:

The grey one looks blue to me too. you canjust see the blue pin feathers coming through the grey down on hte chest

Sorry for all the confusion....I have resized my photos on photobucket let's see if these are better?

These are the pics of the chick that I am wondering may be grey..?
