Icearstorm They appear black. I took some more pictures, but I don't know what's wrong with my camera because she's not showing up grey in pictures (but trust me, there's no color). As you can see she has white under the chin (I also think her beak may need a trim, but I've never done that before)

Rob one of its parents was definetly a fawn you can see the light lines in the feathers coming through so it looks to be a normal fawn as it’s white chin and the tips of its wings are white, also I would suggest trimming the beak aswell I’ve never done beaks only nails so I’m no use here

Goodluck and she’s still a very nice society

The reason I think she’s from a fawn parent is because I’ve had very similarly and cooys of her from one of my pairs a fawn hen and the greypearl I posted in the pick before here’s two of their chicks the grey one even has the white patch under the beak, when this one hit three months aswell she became lighter grey

Hmm, I'm still not completely sure, then.

Pair it with the darker bird. Pairing it with a light one will just get washed out chicks. When you pair Pearl or pearl gray with chocolate, it helps keep the markings intact.

If she has just one white feather, then she is considered pied.
