Hi~

I want to know which mutation this baby has

 

This one's a little trickier because of the lack of markings. At least we can tell it's a sky blue. Also looks male to me. And looking around the back of his neck, I think I see opaline.

 

I also think that is must be a dilute, due to its paleness of color and faint grey markings I think I imagine I can see. Although combining cinnamon and greywing would also make it that pale, too. (I'm assuming you bred this chick, so you know the parents?)

 

Also, it looks like it could be a dominant pied, since your other one is dom. pied. Maybe this one might even be a double factor dom pied?

 

So perhaps it is an opaline dilute dominant pied sky blue male.

Thank you!

I have his parents and brother's picture..

 

 

Here is his parent's picture.

Father is dominant pied, and mother is just nomal.

 

 

 

And this is the brother - same as his father.

Thanks for the photos, they tell us a lot.

 

From this pair, all girl chicks will be opaline, and all boy chicks will be normal. So they must both be sisters.

 

Both of the parents must be split to dilute, or at least some kind of greywing. I suppose the cinnamon option could still be possible if the father is split to cinnamon. I don't really know how likely that would be.

 

And she must be a single factor dom pied, since the mother is a normal, not dom pied.

 

So I still think she must be an opaline dilute dominant pied sky blue.

 

(Actually, a back shot of the father would make it more clear if he is opaline and dominant pied. It's not easy to see in these pics.)

Thank you very much, Finnie!

It was a great help

I agree with Finnie except that the chick looks male. If it is male it can't be opaline

I thought the same thing, Neville. It's hard to tell if those faint markings around the neck are actually opaline. When I didn't know that the mother was not opaline, I assumed the chick was a boy. I think that with this one, the only way to know for sure if it is opaline, will be when it gets older, and its gender is not in any doubt.

 

It's a pretty chick, Hanbie. Maybe you can give us updated photos when it grows up?
