Clare L 175 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Well this one is quite a surprise. Been trying to identify what mutation it is for a while, taken almost four months to colour up. And it seems to be a OB Silver male, I also think he is split for other mutations as well but his other markings are to mixed up. http://s880.photobucket.com/user/Claretrx7/media/newOBSilver23012014002_zpsf9658b11.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 http://s880.photobucket.com/user/Claretrx7/media/newOBSilver23012014009_zps15dfd56f.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 What do you think?

Emmy 528 Report post Posted January 29, 2014 Hi Jon The photos opened up OK with me. Claire its a lovely bird and it's a very unusual colour. Sorry I cant give you an opinion re the identification of the colour though. My knowledge in that area is sadly lacking Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clare L 175 Report post Posted February 2, 2014 Hi All, Thanks for your comments. He is aviary bred, and is a surprise to me as I have had silvers from his parents before, but just normal not OB. The parents are Dom Silver Isabel /BBOBBC hen X Normal/OBBBBC Isabel and fawn male. This pair have produced some good zebs, but other than the BC they have only produced splits until now. He took a long time to colour up, so had me very confused for a while Now all I have to do is find a OB hen for him Clare Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
