Clare L 175 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 Ok, I give up they have stumped my again The Attached is a male, although showing no flank markings, very curious as to why? Same parents as the silver male I posted. But he seems different, darker in colour, not showing full male markings, pics attached. The pics are one week apart, pic 1 being the earliest, still no real difference other than breast barring preety faint also, not to clear in the pics. Or could the flank marks be just to faint to see, even on close inspection I cann't see any Any ideas on what he could be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clare L 175 Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Hi Trevor, Has now started to show male markings at last, still very faint though. He is also quite a bit darker than my other silver male, who is his brother form a different clutch. Its cool as these are the first silvers I have bred, and were a big surprise for me hence the confusion. Should make next year interesting Thanks for the help.
