what color breast is this ?

Post by josh1810 » Sat Jul 11, 2015 11:21 pm

Any opinions of breast color here.

I swore he was bright white breast when younger, and then it got alittle pink looking. I just can not tell if it light LILAC, or dirty WHITE???

Also now i am confused because i dont know who his parents are. I swapped 2 silvers when very young. I thought i just move 1 silver to the left and then the other silver to the left. That way i knew still and up until now i have been sure of my records. Maybe i somehow crossed chicks by mistake i just dont know. Either way he is very pretty. I will have to post a better picture than this one.

He is quite lovely.
Not an expert by a loooong shot, but I see pale lilac.

Elana,

Thank you!!!

He has grown a bit since that pic was taken also. This is my first silver i have ever raised.

According to my genetics calculator his parents are:
RH/BH. LB/WB. SFYB/BB
BH. PB/WB. GB/BB
OR
OH/BH. PB/WB/ SF DILUTE/BB
BH. PB/WB. GB/BB

So if he is LB the RH is his father and if he is WB then the OH is his father...

Thats why i didnt know if i mixed them up or not. They were runts is why i moved them. So there wasnt so much competition for food.

Btw i have the basic Gouldian genetic calculator that lladygouldian.com had on their site.

I would guess a WB, usually LB are much darker then pink on a male.

Still not even remotely an expert, but he does appear to have a very pale lilac tint, when compare to the white breast beside him. Just the way I see it.....

I see the same as Elana but wouldn't call it LB because a male LB is closer to a PB hens color and not so pale. :wink:

Fairy Rose. I like that. I'll have to get a pic of the male I have that just finished coloring out. He's much more Lilac than Pink.
