My little budgies are now about 1 month old, and one of them have different pattern on wings. (Father is Df spangle mum is not spangle)

 

 

The rest of chicks to compare:

If mum is opaline, then dad is a double factor spangle opaline. The chicks are all spangle opaline from what i can see.

Yes, she is :question:

But is it normal for opaline spangle to have pattern like this? It's quite different from the rest, and looks.. not so spangle :bow:

okay i dont see a diffrents am i missing something

all just look opaline spangle to me

which is what you would expect from a df spangle opaline to a normal opaline hen

who is ovioulsly yf bird one of the peronts is anyhow as you have three yf chicks

All opaline spangles as both Dean and GB have said

There are always differences in the wing marking strength of both normal spangles and opaline spangles. Nothing there that sets off any alarm bells for GB, Kaz and myself.

I agree with what Dean_NZ has just said. I do commened you however on your observational skills.

You saw a small difference and questioned its validity. Good on you!

okay, so he is a normal opaline spangle

One more question: this very yellow chick is SF goldenface isn't he?

you would have to tell us the colouring of the parents first to determine that any better than guessing like you. however due to the colouring of siblings i would believe you are correct.

 

was there meant to be a picture?

Well... parrents mutations: Father is skyblue DF spangle, SF YF2 opaline, and mum is SF GF? mauve, cinnamon opaline.

She is a lot more yellow than cock, polish breeders even told that she is olive - but this pairing proof that she is not yellow, so I think GF...

When I look at the chicks and see the difference between intense in yellow between them, i suppose it really is GF...

I :rofl: that first chick. Can I steal him under cover of darkness?

It would be quite long journey

Just a tad long....but my ninja skills can take it

 

But seriously, some nice opaline spangles there, very pretty :rofl:

Your babies look very similar to mine. They are all opaline hens from a violet double factor spangle opaline cock and a normal cobalt hen. As you can see, the spangle marking vary. The are beautiful birds, just wish their violet coloring showed better in the photo.

well if its goldenface the bird will turn green after molt

totally green

great So i'm waiting for the moult :hurryup:

But he will be green even he is cobalt? I thought that only skyblues turn totally green...

And one more question - If hes genotype is GF YF2, than i think he won't be totally green

 

PAdoula - I have the same problem with violet factor in the photo
