Hey guys,

 

Okay so I am now trying to work out weather my babies are Boy's or Girl's

 

Baby 1 below I think is a Boy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And baby 2 below I would say is a little girl

 

 

 

Baby 1 is a grey green cinnomon colour and larger than baby 2.

Baby 2 is a light green cinnomon colour.

 

So what do you guys think?

I agree with the two you have there

Both look like boys.

I would have to say boy girl aswell but I am new to this sexing thing, I am only just getting the hang of the mutations

I see to males they are too purple to be females

Thanks guys! Okay Kaz and others I now you will probably disagree with this one in regards to sexing the babies BUT!!!!

 

Baby 1 is a bigger bird than 2, much more quiet and also doesn't bite! Baby 2 is the same size as mum, bites hard, cracks a darky when you open the nest box.

 

Now also correct me if i am totally off track here with Genetics/colouring but Baby 2 is the same colour as dad, and I mean identical, baby 1 is the Grey green cinnomon or as I am told by a breeder a cobolt green hence the darker colour, now would that not mean that the babies that look like dad are girls and the ones with the varient of colour which is influenced via the violet in the mum would be the boys, or am I just over analyising it???

Biting means hen fairly often so you could be right. A lot is lost in colour and photos on here.

lol thanks Kaz, i should have taken a photo of the bite mark on my finger when I tried to get them out to go in the kindy cage, she even made me bleed!!!!!! She wasnt to bad today though when she came out for the morning with me, she is going to a lady that works for me, who has asked me to spend some pet time with her, she steps up, snuggles and I figured that the flying to the cage when she has had enough needs to be rewarded to keep it up.

Baby 1 (boy) comes out as well but is more than happy to just sit on my shoulder while I am on the computer and cuddles up under my shirt collar when he wants to sleep.

Sounds like all going well with your youngsters

Yeah they are going well thanks Kaz! How did I go with the genetic stuff though?

Personally they both look like boys to me also.

 

I am not sure what you are saying about the violet gene but that has nothing to do if you have a boy or a girl BUT the cinnamon can.

 

If neither parents are visually cinnamon and you have a cinnamon baby then that means the male is split to cinnamon and all babies that are cinnamon are FEMALES because this is a sex-linked gene.

 

If the mom is cinnamon and the male is NOT split to cinnamon you will only have males that are split for cinnamon but no cinnamon babies. BUT if the dad is carrying the cinnamon gene and the mom is cinnamon you can have both males and female cinnamon babies.

 

Make sense?
