October 24, 200915 yr this is my first blue budgieapparently a hen but i got no idea how to tell She is a hen because she has a whitish cere. She would also be a hen if she is opaline.
October 25, 200915 yr What were the parents? I am assuming 2 greesns since you are surprised, a blue chick comes from 2 green chicks that are both carrying the blue geen but the green gene is masking the blue. Also hens do tend to be opaline but you can have a male opaline too.
October 25, 200915 yr Author Hi Elly I'm not surprised but exited that my first ever blue could be a hen the bloodline i bought the cock from produces very few blues. i think i have seen a hand full in the main flight when i bought him and his sister the hen in the pairing is a cinnamon sky blue normal so there where due to be blues. i'm especially exited as i can pair a hen back to the sisters young who is paired to a yellow DF spangle and they produce nothing but greens. there are the makings of a nice bloodline
