Hi.

 

I have a chick that I am not too sure what the gender is.

To me it looks like a skyblue greywing, but neither parent is greywing, so to get greywings both parents must be split greywing. They have never produced greywing before so I am doubting that this chick is actually greywing.

 

Mother: Yellowface type 1 blue

 

Faher: Cobalt normal split Cinnamon

 

chick:

it look like a lite maket cinnamon

okay that is probably correct shannon, thankyou.

is okay

You have a greywing

Looks like a Greywing to me!!!

but it can not be a grey-wing

but it can not be a grey-wing

Why not ? Greywing is a recessive gene and can be hidden by both parents. There is no way these markings are cinnamon Shannon

Which begs the question.. how many of your chicks or birds are split greywing?

Whatever it is, it's gorgeous. You have some lovely birds Pearce

Congratulations on your surprise greywing Pearce

There is no reason why a Cinnamon cant be split Greywing.

A couple of years ago i breed a nest of chicks from a similar situation. The cock was a Sky normal and the hen was a cobalt Cinnamon. I breed a Oplaine Greywing sky, Sky Greywing and a Dilute (winner of AOSV class adelaide National). Both parents i have pedigrees going back 3 generations (no Greywing) Since then that family has thrown a couple of Dilutes for me and other people.

Thankyou very much all. Im so lucky that both parents happened to be split greywing. I've never had a greywing before so I look forward to seeing him/her grow. Thankyou.

I had a surprise greywing in a nestbox once too Pearce....to a pair of spangles......here was mine ( pet type ) with his DF spangle brother

wish i got suprized only suprize i ever get is when i breed a new albeno hen to find out what she masks

even then im usually right in my guess

i want a suprize

that just gave me an kinda suprize should bring out a new egg with collectable budgies and mutations colours for easter lol now theirs one for you know your a bird nut when????when you think of dumb things like that

It is a Greywing.

 

There are two possibilities.

 

1. Both parents are split for Greywing.

 

2. One parent is split Greywing and the other is split Dilute.
