Another learning experience to test your observation and knowledge.

 

Nest of five chicks rangeing from 11 days to 3 days old. Parents are a Clearwing Violet(sf) Cobalt cock and a Dk Green/Clearwing, Blue Type II.

 

At this point the mutations of the oldest two can be seen. So lets see who can figure out what they are and why.

No clue but i think the oldest could be a green Clearwing, Who knows *shrugs shoulders*.

Me likes learning

 

Chick 1 looks to be a blue normal. Grey down, no yellow (as far as I can see), and there's too much dark on the end of the wings for it to be a clearwing right?

 

Chick 2 I definitely see some yellow there. I'm not sure, but is its down white? I was told that means opaline. I can't see the wings super good, but it looks like it has less dark on its wing tips, so clearwing?

 

Chick 3 looks to have yellow also, but I can't see any other tell tale signs of its type :)

 

I can't even guess the others lol

 

If there is a tell for clearwing, then I would love to hear it tongue.gif

If it was green those pin feathers would be yellow. They are white.

 

 

Hey Shazz..........chick 3 and 4 seem to have plum eyes / Is that correct ?

Nah, no plum eyes in this nest. They all Black.

 

So is anybody else gonna have a shot? If Not I will post what they currently are later tonight.

Fooobaar, I am racking my brain trying to guess these and I just keep ending up with a big jumbled mess of headache :(:wacko:

 

I have some ideas but whilst they seem good in my head, when I write them down they just don't gel well.

 

Small hint? :blush:

Sorry I didn't get to that post. I got distracted then my brain just forgot.

 

So far:

 

Chick 1 = Blue Normal

Chick 2 = Green Clearwing or Dilute

Chick 3 = Normal

Chick 4 = Normal

Chick 5 = ???

 

I will take an updated picture tonight.

WOO I win lol

 

Joking, but I think there should be more of these for us newbs :)

Good learning exercise. Thanks RIP :)

Hey guys. Just could not get a decent picture tonight. As will try again tomorrow.

 

I will answer your questions as well.

 

Just bear with me I have a couple of experiments going at the moment which take a fair bit of time each night.
