Hi there I'm fairly new to the hobby and forum. I was wondering if anyone can help me with the genetics with my parents birds and the possible outcome of their offspring. 4 have hatched, 2 more to go. I know nothing about the parents history as they both came from separate pet stores.

I think the hen is a fawn. her wings are a creme/ beigish colour.She had been severe plucked when I purchased her. She looks so much better. The male is a standard grey I believe from what I've read on here. Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance, Trisha

More pictures of the female would be helpful. She has a light cheek patch that is not common with all fawn females.

Thanks, I'll grab a couple more pictures. If it helps her cheek patches are the same white as her belly.
