I think that this chick will be nice when it grows up. It is a sky blue opaline spangle. The 3rd picture shows it's parents, they are an albino masking spangle hen and an opaline cobalt cock. They have 2 other chicks which are both mauve opalines. As opaline is a sex linked mutation the chicks will all be female unless the albino is also masking opaline

 

 

 

Very pretty baby Neville, I look forward to progressive pics

Wow Neville s/he looks adorable. hope s/he does grow up into a nice one for you... Good Luck.

Very nice Neville. the opaline cock has a nice clear v on his back

They are very nice babies and i love their colour

Nevile ... SO a Albino can MASK Spangle ?????????????

 

 

By The Way ... she's a beauty

What a nice pair and baby. Very sweet Thanks for sharing!

yeah Neat an albino can mask a variety of 'types', makes it all the more interesting!

Ohhh albinos may be fun to breed with in the future then.

 

Lovely Neville. I look forward to more pics.

Very lovely Neville, the parents are just as lovey as the hen.

 

Neat, the ino gene erases markings so that is why you can't see if they are carrying certain genes like recessive pied, dominant pied, opaline and many others... .

Gee's ... where have I seen this bird before ? I'm sure I saw it somewhere. I might have even said it was lovely & I would be pleased to see it when its fully feathered. Nice Bird Neville !

Very nice Neville. the opaline cock has a nice clear v on his back

 

 

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the picture...nice birds Neville. I'd love to see more pics as this chick gets older.

Nick Nack long time no see!!!!!

 

okay back on topic. So Albino can mask anything.. thats cool.

Very lovely chick there Neville. I love opaline spangles.

Very lovely Neville going to be a cracka when she grows up.
