How old is he? yes he does look that way. BUT his flights at the moment look very tight and neat but his secondaries flights look long and really messy. His head looks normal too, normally they have great feather on the head too which makes you think wow what a bird until they start showing the signs of a mop.

I dont think so.

 

i agree kaz just looks like a normal feathering 3 n a half week old chick lovely and dark violet to i must say

 

 

 

can we see when gets fledged please :celebrate:

it looks like it is Opaline to me

sorry i said cock as you said rec / opaline i thought you ment it was split to opaline ...their for only could be cock but i now see what you wrote

you were saying it was rec pied Opaline :rofl: hen

sorry its late i should be sleeping

she is beautiful i love the heavy v on her :)

no heavy marked hens are not from rec to rec breeding just from poorly marked pairings usually as in badly marked or one peront badly marked

but im not sure i know i was told only breed rec to rec unless the out cross normal is a Superior bird

 

to get splits

we could probably say its a opaline rec yellow faced blue as its also

got a fair bit of blue lower on its body. its dad is a dark green rec split opaline and also from a yellowface blue back ground. the mums also a cin wing voilet rec. so could get anything out of that pairing

Got some great looking birds... Love the sky blues... Never used to like skyblue but they are growing on me... Isn't it funny how preferences change over time...
