First time with a clutch from these parents! All 5 looking healthy so far. Any speculations on colors or genetics?

Arcellnt I’m guessing two pied fawns has a black/grey maybe self and another pied

Knowing the parent's phenotype would be a help. There are sites with genetic calculators that will give you the percentage probabilities of various crosses. One such site:

Disregard this. Its clearly nonsense.

I’m guessing two pied fawns has a black/grey maybe self and another pied

paul-inAZ it’s not nonsense but I think I have experience with them I don’t agree with the way u stated

To be honest what experience do u have

And for seconds society’s don’t have a genetic calculator because it’s basic as it is , E.g. breed a self to a self it’s gonna be a self , breed a double factor pied with a self then you get a pied , breed a single factor pied with self u get mixed etc so learn yours facts first

the question was about Gouldians. Your response IS nonsense.

Experience? Decades more than yours.

paul-inAZ Ohright that’s my mistake then I must have looked at an image o society’s thencicked onto this post

My mistake take it back

Based on this site, I'd guess 2 SF yellows, 1 yellow (hen?), and 2 greens. I'm not super experienced with nestling ID, though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Fraza . O y God u kill me
u luv so much ur society at the point u see evety bird as soci lol
When i read the answer iwas chocked self, pied anf brown in gouldian!! And the most noneof those pics are showing that colors. And the noodles they are shining and telling we're gouldies

haroun Ano I felt such an idiot I was looking at society chicks so when writing I imagined they where society’s !! Lol I hope he hasn’t taken me the wrong way I have apologised u just thought wow that’s unessary because I thought it was society’s

Lol you can tell I’m the youngest lol

Fraza Ah, well, 'No harm, No foul'. I can't tell you how many times I've read or looked at a post incorrectly..( I usually blame aging eyesight- which you cannot do, young man) lol You were just checking to see if we were paying attention, right?

FinchLady Yh lol I was just checking haha I’ll go with that one

Looks like 3 yellow and 2 normals (colors-barring splits). But I'd have to see the open mouths better on the darker chicks. If their middle nodule is white they are probably blue.

Can you get clearer photos?

That's very interesting, Babs. I didn't know you could tell mutation from color of mouth nodules. I knew the pattern/colors differed by type of finch. Anymore facts about nodules? Fascinating topic.... perhaps an interesting string.

Babs,
* Oh my. Just noticed date on this post. Sorry so out of sequence.
Still think this would make an interesting string
