Hi all,

Do I have a silver baby?
Mom is a green back and dad a yellow back.
But both parents must be split to blue?

Jerry

I can clearly see yellow in that picture so I would say no.

A Green hen and Pastel male will only give you SF Pastel males and Pastel hens whether they are split to Blue or not.

good looking chick, best of luck

I figured that is what I would get as you say Debbie. See the first picture of the predictions.
Now look at the second, I added that both parents are split to blue?
Then I get a 6.3% chance of silver.

It will be interesting to see what it looks like? I will post more pics as it gets older.

i'd say chick is s a yellow hen due to dad being a pastel and yellow being sex linked

If you get a Pastel Blue (silver) you know it's a hen

I would say yellow back, Jerry.

Looks like a cutie.

Good luck

It just may surprise us all?

I hope you get a silver, I know you want one. They are very beautiful.

Elana

She is getting bigger!

What a cutie pie, still think it's a Pastel tho ;)

Don't different coloured mutations, have different coloured nodules, or am I wrong ?

You are correct, that's another reason why I say Pastel ;)

What about the head? What colour do you think?
Mom's black, dad's is orange, and mom's mom is red.

The male chicks will be RH/BH/YH (Red Head split to Black Head Split to Yellow Head) and the hens will be RH/YH (Red Head split to Yellow Head)

I am always amazed how you guys have this genetic thing down! It is still very confusing to me. I've tried looking at the forecasters but I still get all "turned around"!!!
