Young Australian Dilute backs have plum coloured eyes in the nest as well so it maybe a cocktail of mutations. Craig
Euro YBs have the plum eye as nestlings too.

And a lot of inexperience (and some not so inexperienced) breeders in the "wild west" were crossing Aussie and Euro yellow indiscriminately. So lots of people bought birds being told they were one thing only to find that they were in fact a mix. Include me and my mum in that buyer group.
So Rich and Finigan we would love to see the latest chicks and hear how your bloodlines progressed.
