It is exactly one month since my 2nd clutch was born. Three again in this clutch and it appears they will all be green at this stage.

 

 

They are so adorable,,,not long till they fly the coop!

 

I finally got a good picture of mother hen too....I just love her light green colouring

 

Aww very cute

Pretty chicks, is Mum opaline or Dad? Look's like at least 2 are opaline. Pics are a bit small to tell.

The hen is light green and the cock is YF cobalt. Im not sure where the opaline comes from, as from what Ive read the hen and cock do not carry a diluted body colour in their wings, just the normal black and yellow. Im only new to breeding so I hope to be able to answer questions better in the future! In the first clutch I had one opaline but sadly she passed away last week.

 

Here is a picture of dad

 

 

THis picture gives a better photo of mum & dad markings on their backs

Little wattle (RIP) who was green opaline

 

 

As the new babies grow over the next few weels.. I will post pictures to show colouring.

Hey, Ishtarsands!

 

The photo is pretty small, but it looks like the dad could be opaline. But even if he isn't, he could be split for it. The mom looks like normal, so any opaline chicks will be girls.
