I was thinking it looked fawner than any I have bred. But I only have normals at the moment. Have had silvers in the past. Don't seem to be any mutations round this side of the country?

Congratulations
I'm going to put up some cup nests soon for my diamonds. Did the parents lay two eggs? If they did only lay 2 eggs I read on a website, (don't know if this is true or not) that if only one survives it's more likely to be a male.

They always put two eggs, rarely three.
Survive always the two turtledoves, to me has always been so, if given the proper nutrition everything goes well..
