So I just wondering if maybe by the chicks there is any indication off a mutation and the parents are shown below

I find it strange but hard to tell off picture that the fluff on one is really white whereas the other is like a grey


Also there is another 2 chicks from this clutch in a society nest

so the hen is a Black Brest for sure, and fawn (the fawn is diluted !)
the male is split for Black breast from that tar drop ,oval chestnut dots, and if i'm not wrong i can see a hour class shap in that tail see the first tail bar witch is just under the wing .
look s like babie will be all fawn and 50% will be BB ,50% split for BB

The male is either a normal grey or fawn. Not sure about the female though.

This is one of the B.B. chicks that got put into the society’s nest by accident there’s another two from the same clutch in with the real parents (couldn’t get picture of them yet )
