Mystery Chick

[okiebirds]

Father OH/PB/DB/B
Mother BH/WB/BB

Chick is OH/WB/YB - male

According to the forecaster yellow has to be female

Weird... I did bounce a couple males around. Doubtfull but still possible that another Male could be the father. If so that male is BH/LB/YB/B but this male chick still doesnt calculate on the forecaster...hmmm

Im having a brain fart ... what is DB/B?

Dilute Back split blue

If your male is split for WB and your hen split for YH AND your male chick is a YH.WB.SFYb/Bb it would be visually yellow.

So:
Father YH.PB/WB.SFYb/Bb
Mother BH/YH.WB.Bb

Chick is YH.WB.SFYb/Bb - male

There it is... wow only a 3% chance of that chick's color combination.

That shows splits I wasnt aware of as both of these birds were bought with no record of their genes. Thats great I can update their records now!

thank you!!

[debbie276]

Your very welcome! There are 32 different combos with those genetics, that's quite a pair!
Best of luck

Here he is almost completely colored in. I thought he was a OH but now that he has colored in he's RH

Since this was the first yellow that came out of my combinations I was curious about white and green splotches on his yellow back. Im assuming this isnt unusual and he will molt out of it next year?

[debbie276]

The splotches are probably more because he looks SFYellow to me, which is common.
Very pretty bird!
congratulations
