Normal babies that are split dilute.

So, this means Dad is split dilute ?

I think so.

I will be very interested in seeing what colour that little one ends up being. Obviously blue based, due to the white feathers and cannot be grey. I am thinking sky blue dilute opaline

Funny how we say white down means opaline and it is so true. However in my greywing babies of the past they also had white down and females as well and none of them were opalines.

thats same with albinos kaz makes it harder breeding binos

 

looking really good that dilute chick spesh

You'll find that the whole of the 'Dilute'series i.e. Greywing, Clearwing and Dilute will have down which looks white but it is more of an off white. Obviously the removal of melanin extends also to the down.

I am asking if it is....havent decided yet So far it looks pale

solution :bump:

 

This chick appears to be a violet greywing

feathers are colouring up to be lavender colour.......pale purple

nice :bump:

Yeah, looked too bright to be a dilute to me! Such cuties Kaz! And violet too.

Nice babies Kaz, glad your greywings are coming along nicely :bump:

I am still trying to figure out how violet came into it. But that dilute hen produced a mauve baby once with a light green dom pied father.

 

 

 

Very cute. I think the violet greywing has now overtaken the sky blue greywing as my favourite greywing.

I agree!

 

Very beautiful birds Kaz. That pale lavender is just the cutest.....

So..............does this dilute hen carry dark factor ?

Wow that colour is gorgeous! Sneaky little violet factor........ from Daddy perhaps?

He appears light green and she has produced a mauve with a pied cock before so I thought it must come from her
