Are these Spaldings?

[mberry222]

I was wondering if someone could tell me if these are both Spalding birds. I know the one is a male how about the darker one? They are 5 months old. Thanks for you help!

Looks like a pair

they have very little spalding in them 1/2 more then likely.
The male it's hard to tell in the photo but is his neck green or is it blue??

yep, all spalding and a pair, % of green maybe 50 , note his neck is getting the green color, and the tight crest.

Even any with any green are spalding , like 25% green. So yes they are spalding, cant be part spalding.

Spalding are a cross of the indiablues and any of the 3 greens, so any carry both are spalding, no matter the % of each

The male's neck is mostly green, but does have some blue. The darker one (female I guess) did have a tall crest towards the back of the head but has lost it now. Their legs seem to be longer and taller than my other adult indias thats why I was thinking they had some green blood.

You will note on the hen, her under side, is a rust color, not like blue hens

I am trying to figure out where you got part at ?? Once a Spalding always a Spalding even if only 1/8 it will never ever be PURE, Like these folks saying if you Breed a 31/32 to a 31/32 you will get PURE Java's You will never get a Pure Java out of a SPALDING it will always be a SPALDING.
