Mutations?
Hi, just wondering if someone can identify what mutations the little ones are? They were born on the 6th January, and think that there is two females and a male (the darker feathered one)? Can anyone confirm also this? thanks!

Re: Mutations?
cindy is better with Zebra mutations, but in regards to their possibly genetic make up...
Original Pair:
Male - Normal Grey Pied
Hen - Fawn (possibly?)
The chicks look Normal Grey and Fawn to me. It is too early to sex them.

Re: Mutations?
The parents are certainly a fawn hen and a normal grey pied cock, but I believe that the hen may also split to black cheek (that tear is very wide) and the cock may also be black face.
I would need to see pics of the cock's other side to make a better guess in regards to black face. The side that is shown looks more like a black face with a pied marking on the face rather than a normal grey face. If the other side is identical, this bird may just have slightly odd looking facial markings. The chest on this bird isn't dark/light enough to indicate either way. Not all BF cocks have dark underparts.
First pic:
Normal grey, possibly male based on the darker feathers sprinkled on the chest. Too early to tell for sure though.
Second pic:
Both fawns. Fawn in back looks like it will be male as I can already see stripes on the throat. The other chick is too young to tell. If dad is black face, one or both of these fawns may also be black face. The lower contrast on fawn chicks makes it harder to tell.
