I think we might have an albino

Post by wilkifam » Wed Feb 03, 2016 1:01 pm

From a Black Gray Hen and a Dilute Gray Cock. Apparently they are split for albino, or for something very light colored.

Wow! nice. BTW the egg on the top right is pipping. Looks like you'll have another chick in a few hours/minutes. =D>

The other chick hatched yesterday too, but I did not take another photo. It has dark eyes. I expect the other two to hatch today.

Talked to Ivan, I got the parents from him. He says the parents could be split to albino, but also to Creamino. So....... They might be Creamino. If that is the case, then they are probably hens.

Time will tell here.

Congrats! Is there just the one baby that could be albino or creamino? It looks like a second baby could be.
