Calling All Seb Experts!... Question On Line One...

[redhen]

Soo.. at first we all thought my little guy/gal was going to be all white. But now it seems he/she is getting these VERY light grey feathers on the tips of one wing and some on his back also...

Soo... is he/she a Splash? Saddleback? And if so, what color?? Grey?? Blue? His parents are blues..(i believe)
And can anyone PLEASE tell me if you think its a gander or gal?? (others thought its a gander

... Is it?)
And why arent his eyes turning blue?? I wanted a goose with blue eyes...

Thanks for any help!

Here he is, he was born the first week of July..

Chances are this baby will moult out white as did this baby of mine that is out of white parents. She is now pure white.

Could be a splash also.

I don't know but he sure is pretty.

It is probably a white girl. My white embden girls have a lot of gray wing feathers right now but should be all white when they grow up

i think its a splash:cd or blue morph.

Thanks all! Guess i'll just have to wait to see what he moults out too...

No "expert" (I'm always in a learning curve) here but looks like a Splash to me.
Blues, greys, saddlebacks etc. are born with black on their beaks and legs
in varying degrees that fades to orange.
Saddleback hatchlings have very obvious dark cap & saddle down which
will feather out into a dark cap and saddle. No guessing there.
White's do not "morph" into blues, greys or whatever.
