But what did the female come from? The male had 2 choc genes, but the female had one blue and one....
I remember being taught that if a brown eyed man and green eyed woman had blue eyed babies, then the woman had an affair w/the milk man. Back then they didn't take into consideration that both grandfathers had blue eyes & the recessive gene tends to come out in the next generation.
I guess I need to go back and reread more of "wk 3". Did you tell me that their adult colors were only determined by their heads markings?
#1 def will be gray. #2, I can't seem to capture the color w/or w/flash. He has the stripes. But they're much lighter than the other,actually brown vs dark brown. His body isn't nearly as light as a buff dundotte like his daddy but creamy brown and tan. But if body color doesn't enter into it, it makes no diff. Mb it'll come out in future generations.
It was sad to lose other two, but not surprising. 1 was the other gray, much smaller than the others & I had to find it's wing bc it was stuck to it. The other was a good size, but I knew something wasn't right the night before. No pasty butt, had been eating, drinking,& active that day, but in evening just cldnt stand w/o falling over, eyes drooping, the other two kept barreling over it.
