    White Zebra Finch?

    I've got a friend with some zebra finches (4 to be exact) and they have hatched two groups of eggs. Eight the first time and now four. The first eight were all normal coloured finches but this time one out of the four is a white finch with a bit of a darker head. None of the parents look like...

    Mixng colours?

    What colour will they be?

    and I know you cant tell gender at this age, but I'd be interested to hear any guesses and I can report back later. 2 silkies, pure bred, from 2 gold parents. One was a little darker than the other when they were born. The only reason I'm even querying it now is because of the pattern coming...

    Wyandotte genetics - colour

    Could someone thats good with colours help here... I have a few sex linked GLW hens (gold roo over a silver hen, both pure colour lines) If I got a GLW roo to breed to the hens would they breed pure GLW chicks or would there be silver in them or would it just be a mess. Thanks for any help

    Is the colour of a pekin chick determined by the parents?

    Hi, I am getting a breeding trio of pekin bantams soon, and I was wondering that, since pekin come in a variety of colours, should I have all three the same colour or have a mixture. I am looking to breed them (hence getting two hens and a cockerall) and wasn't sure what colour the chicks would...

    Is this a slate chick?

    I have a button/painted/king quail chick that hatched moments ago, I thought it was a silver at first but it looks too dark to be a silver. What do you guys think? The parents are two Blue-Faced quail and have Cinnamon, Red Breasted, Caramel and Silver Tuxedo genes in them as I have gotten those...

    Wyandotte Colour Genetics

    So I have some wyandottes currently, and I am loving them. I just have some questions about breeding them. If I were to cross a SLW, GLW, BLW, etc, with white or black wyandottes, what would the outcome be? If anyone has a list of all the different varieties and ways to get them, that would be...

    What colour morph is this button quail chick?

    It is too dark to be a white with a more reddish hue compared to the sweetcorn-like white ones I hatched before, and it isn't pale enough to be a silver and it has red lines down it's back... My guess is maybe a cinnamon which makes me wonder how many crazy colour genes Rex and Speckles, the...
