Very nice looking, and healthy. Congratulations. We are starting to see more of the Lutino and albino Gouldians here though they are still rare, but can be found for big $$$

I have chicks in a clutch of 6: 3 dilute (SFYellow), 1 white, and 2 white with some yellow feathers....those two are inbetween white & yellow. Might they be lutino? They have less yellow than yours above.

hello.
lutino and albino birds have red eyes. yellow birds have red eyes, but only the first 7-9 days of life, then darkens them. lutino and albino birds have red eyes in adulthood. to offspring was lutino or albino, parents must carry the gene ino.
