Thank you I'm really happy I got them

These are Isabeles....now the females are interesting.

female 1 silver Isabel

female 2 look normal split to pied (the tear looks dark in the picture but Isabels can have slight tear usually a bit darker than the body color) She could be an Isabel.

The males are Silver Isabel OB/BB on the left and Silver Isabel (I see a hint of black breadt bar.

The second is OB....the orange is just not pushed up over the head as much but there is a hint of black breast bar as well it could be split to BB.

Can you get a tail shot of bothe males?
Are these related?

I don't know if there related -
But here are some tail shots
Male 1

Male 2

Here are some more pics of female 2 --- what do you think about the cheek patches ?

Male one looks to have OB. Possibly split to BB do you see the hourglass pattern in the tail?

Male 2 may have a bit of cream in him....I would like to have friend look at these...both look OB.

What do you have in you stock to pair the males with?

I was thinking male 1 to female 1
And male 2 to maybe a FF
Or a female that I think mite be split to BB

Not sure about female 2 --- I'm not very fond of the pied gen so I don't know if I will keep her for breeding

Pair the male with the heavy orange with a split to BB female...it will push more orange through out the offsprings body and head.

I was thinking about that .......And I'm going to do that -- it should make some nice birds

What do you think about the pied gen .... Should I care / or don't worry about it ---

female 2, she is very pretty...the white in the tail feather can you get a shot of that....does it look like an elongated hourglass? she may be split or fill BB. I would not be concerned with splits to much it is full pied I personally would avoid. In my stock if a bird is split to pied and carried traits like BB and OB I use them with another bird with BB or OB.

Ok well now i feel better about using her ......
Thank you !!

Seriously, where are you getting all these gorgeous birds?! Where are you located?

Here is my "European" take on the birds:
Hen nr. 1 is grey isabel.
Hen nr. 2 is normal grey split OB and pied.
Male 1 is grey isabel OB BB - (Phaeo)
Male 2 is normal grey OB.

Lucky you! These are great finds!

Ameza he is located in Pennsylvania...here we use either FF or Isabel.

His birds are pretty!!!! Hen two is really nice, I would keep her, the fact that ameza confirmed OB and those cheeks are really nice...don't give her away.

Ameza what would you suggest he pair her with?
