Genetic Coloration of Gould Chicks

Post by mdhairston78 » Tue Dec 30, 2014 1:52 am

Hey guys and gals,
I'm new to breeding goulds and now have 8-day old chicks. I'm excited because all 6 eggs hatched and this is the first time they are feeding the chicks instead of letting them die. My question is...I have a normal male and YBRHPB female...am I correct in thinking that any males will be dilutes and any females will be normal green? Pictures attached. Thanks! Mike
