Pair One

 

 

These lot have 2 chicks

 

 

Not sure what this chick is anyone wanna have a shot

the other one is like it as well

Hi L_J. It looks like you have 2 white and blue pieds there. They are very cute. I'd hazard a guess and say they are probably dominant pieds given the clear edges to the flight feathers. Do they have a band of clear feathers across their bellies? You'll know for sure when they are older as dominant pieds have an iris ring and recessive pieds don't.

yeah I think you are right. I was waiting for some pieds to show up.

 

I think they have the band across their chests.

Hi L_J. Just thinking about your chicks again. If neither parent is a visual pied, the chicks must be recessive pieds. I could be wrong here but I believe a bird can be split for recessive pied but not for dominant pied. It's either a dominant pied or it is not. My 2 dominant pied cocks always throw all pied chicks.

They are recessive pieds because neither of the parents are visual pied.

Are you talking about the white, blue, grey baby? That one looks just like my budgie shadow! He's really cute! Id say she is a pied from the blue variety. she'll be beautiful when she's older

Yeah the baby's are recessive pieds.
