It would help if you could post some more photos to provide a better view. Feather pigmentation will often change after the first moult. Link to comment

The pied chick is interesting but I cant tell if its dominant or recessive from the picture. Judging from the photo I am guessing your cousin is colony breeding. If so there may be more than one father to the clutch. Link to comment

The 2 chicks that are white with yellow are yellow/golden faced albinos or "creaminos" Your cousin is colony breeding so there is no way to be sure that the green cock is the father. Does your cousins have any albino/lutinos in the aviary? As for the colouring of the bird, it doesn't look like it's got all it's feathers yet, once it goes through its first moult I think the feathers that look brown will be gone.

I believe she has an Albino in there. Also thankyou all for the help, I know myself I'm still learning and its great to get help from people that have more knowledge Edited February 16, 2014 by kertazy Link to comment
