Society Chicks - Help

Post by ohboi_jc » Wed Dec 10, 2014 11:25 pm

You guys have no idea how excited I am about this. My fawn and gray society have always produced fawn chicks until recently (took a year). This clutch is rather small but they are different colors. I need help with identifying the colors? Experts? What do you think? Pictures below.

Thanks KarenB! I read that and it makes complete sense. The male is probably split to "ino" and I am getting fawn "ino" chicks. The darker chick, can that possibly be a red? Just wishful thinking.

Sorry I don't know much about the Society mutations, but wanted to say: Don't you just love the surprise they give you every now and then! Love that they decided in one whole clutch to give you a variety you didn't know about. Brilliant.

The other one looks like it will be a fawn.

Yes, the fawn one made it. All alive and well. The societies are the best parents.
