I don't understand the whole Genetics thing can someone tell me what color the fledging is thats yellow backed and gray headed,breast looks like its going to be ?
They had three but one died soon after fledging about march 18th one looks like a normal green back .

Cuties Bill.
The green one looks light in the picture, could be a dilute.
The yellow looks to be a BH WB YB hen I can't really see her breast in the picture. Is the mother lilac breasted? The chick may get what they call a dirty white breast where there are patches of purple mixed with the white. Many times the color will even out after the adult moult. She also just may get the purple breast but being that she is yellow it will appear a lighter shade than the green hen's breast. Guess you will just have to wait and see

Neither of these babies are molted out yet, right?
We are looking at unfeathered babies I'm thinking.. so really until they start to molt you won't have any idea.
But best guess if those are the parents in the photo is that she will be RH/OH.

Thanks I guess I will just have to wait and see
