Hi all!!

 

I know they are young,

but what do you experts say about the possible mutations?

 

mom is rec pied opaline sky blue

dad is rec pied opaline sky blue sf spangle

 

what I have read the babies will all be rec pieds, all sky blue

all opaline and 50& of them will be sf spangles.

 

But one of the babies is not sky blue?

he is white with reddish eyes and brownish markings

here he is whith his blue sibling

you can see the chick to the right have brown colored pin feathers and plum eyes

but the other chick have black eyes and blue pinnies.

 

What mutaion causes brown pinnies?

I dont know if my birds are carring cinnamon or not, they dont show it.

This is their first clutch.

 

I can post pics of the parents if needed.

Plum eyes and brown pins means it is cinnamon and if neither of its parents are cinnamon it means the father is split for it. They are beautiful chicks and I love the white one. Keep the pics coming as the grow

Thank you alot!!

I have been reading and reading all day about mutations!

Then this is my first cinnamon and its a girl!

There is also a change she will be sf spangle like her dad.

and rec pied! She is gonna be beautiful!

 

Yes, the white one is adorable, I call him/her, Angel

most likely a girl, she also have plum eyes but her photos dont show it well!

Then she is also a cinnamon:)

Hi, as Nadene has said the Cinnamon must come from the father, as Cinnamon is a sex linked gene, no hen can be split sex linked, so it's Dad masking the cinnamon. I thought I read somewhere that a white chick with cinnamon & plum eyes can be a fallow??? BUT I'm not sure about that others may be able to say for sure.

Hi Robyn!! Thanks!

 

yes, I know what sex linked is

I have been breeding zebra finches since 2009 and there is also a sex linked mutations there, dom and rec.

But I am still learning all the budgie stuff, I think its even harder than the zebras!

 

Fallows have red eyes but cinnamons have plum eyes.

 

I am very excited as this is my first cinnamon chicks

 

I was checking the nestbox and they are so cute

The oldest is gonna be very pretty white/sky blue rec pied,

with black markings on the wings.

 

new pics soon

 

but here are pics of the parents

Hi all!!

 

I have a six months old budgie, Demantur (Diamond)

AM I correct?

his siblings

light green dilute sf spange?

 

and if he is dilute, then both parents must carrie it because its rec mutation.

Right?

 

His dad is DF spangle (split dilute) and his mom is normal Grey (split dilute?)

 

here is his grandfather

what color is he and what mutation (I know he is split opaline and he is sf spangle)

Sesar by Elma_Ben, on Flickr

can you see if he is dilute?

I was looking at my all white chick with the plum eyes

and she is getting cinnamon spangle markings on the wings!

very very pretty
