I have 3 chicks to discover their mutations!

Hello guys, My budiges bred and have 3 chicks. what mutations do they have? I am adding mother and father, too! Yeah there is eggs are on cage. Mother Only lay eggs on the floor but not in nest for some reasons. I think father is df dominant pied sf golden face, so all chicks are sf dominant pied.





First chick






Second chick











Third chick

I'm not good at identifying mutations. yellowfacedviolet should be able to help you.

An interesting clutch that defied the odds in some ways. Your green series cock, even when split to blue as he is, should have produced, on average, 50% green chicks. But the long shot odds prevailed.

First, why do you think the df pied cock is goldenfaced? The hen appears to be double factor goldenface (or yellowface type II) so she alone could be responsible for the three chicks being SF goldenface/yellowface, which they indeed are.

Chicks #1 and #3 appear to be SF Goldenface, Opaline Cobalt Clearwing, SF Dominant Pieds.

Chick #2 appears to be SF Goldenface, Opaline Cobalt, SF Dominant Pied.

I take your word about goldenface, though had you not said that, I would have thought we had yellowface type II instead.

Given that you have male Opalines we can reverse engineer that the DF Dominant Pied cock is either opaline 'underneath' or split to opaline, since the opaline hen alone could not have produced opaline males. I'd say the odds are he's actually opaline.

Well with golden face i mean, 3 blue chicks either luck or I though he is not a green bird so golden face is responsible for green look.

No, he's a green series bird. He's a green (probably opaline) clearwing df dominant pied. The chicks are blue because he's split to blue, that is, he carries blue recessively, while the hen is a blue series bird. The genetic odds for the chicks of that union were each chick had a 50-50 chance of being green series or blue series. It was a coin flip and it came up heads (blue) three times. And the chicks are yellowfaced because the hen is df yellowface.
