A while back I posted about my young cock bird Hector asking how many dark factors he had, I believe everyone agreed that he was a cobalt, sf dom. pied, goldenface. I'm currently pairing him up with a hen I produced in 2006, she's a skyblue sf dom pied, yf, opaline, /(possibly)clearwing. My question is; when Hector was younger his eyes were a deep plum color. As he's matured his eyes have turned a normal color. So is it possible he's hiding something and, if so what could it be?

 

Thanks

I can't answer your questions about plum eyes, but I looked around for your other post to see the pictures, so here is a link to it:Hector

 

Hector is very cute and pretty!

Plum eyes are a trait of recessive pieds, cinnamons can have them within their first couple days of being hatched.

If he were split to cinnamon would there be any other indications?

this is the hen he's paired with http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/rou...ee/IMG_2195.jpg

I blew up a photo of him when he was younger nd you can sort of see the color. The line across the eye is because he was mid blink.

I think that the only way to know if he's split to cinnamon is if he throws cinnamon hen chicks. I guess you'll have to wait and see what you get. That is the fun part :hap:
