More Genetics

Post by akidsgal » Mon Apr 19, 2010 3:56 pm

Here are the 4 offspring that are not yet colored up. They are just starting to color up. They are beauties, however I am unsure of how to tell they are males. The person I got them from told me they were all males. I just don't see that. I see some things in their antics that I see in my females.

NONE are showing signs of singing either. I am wondering if he was telling me that they were males because of colorations of parents. One of each is looking like they might be female to me. However I am not as good at the colors and genetics as others.

Feel free to comment if you see something I don't. I do not know the parents nor their genetics. Just looking at what I am seeing in their antics and such.

I should mention that the blue in the top pic has a wb but also when I shine a light on the breast it has a blue cast to it.

They look nice! I think the only way you can tell for sure is when they start to sing or get either dark or pale bellies.

Good luck!
