Ok, so I took one of the posters suggestions regarding my Penguin bro and sis. Got another bro and sis greys. Duh!

At least I know I have two pair. Was going to split both pairs up but look at these pics (female fuzzy).

I don't think they are real greys. They look like they are splits and now need to know what they are and if they can be paired with the Penguins.

They look like they have faint orange underbottoms and the male female is not a dark grey and the male has the grey on the wings but lighter body. I'm thinking societies. Won't have all this craziness to deal with. Just want to be a hobby and do the right thing by them.

BTW I was going for penguin babies in the future with this pairing in generations from now. What do I do now? :cry:

The male might be a lightback which is very nice when combined with penguin.

The female could you get a clear picture. She might be a visual LB. The gene is sex linked so she won't carry the gene. A picture would help a bit.

She looks normal gray. You can pair her to the male CFW.
