Is seagreen recessive sex linked or what? You dont see any reference to them on mutation sites?

Sea -Green RFPF's (related to Gouldians) are sex-linked . .

So it would be reasonable (??) to guess SLR

So assuming that hen should be visual seagreen? Male carrier ?

I'm only guessing at the SLR bit . .

But if correct . .

Yes, split dad

But you see I only breed pure normals and breed for colour...so none of mine look seagreen and from what I've read it washes out other colours?? Mine have a distinctive dark green blueish back and almost indigo chest and good yellow bellies so maybe my colour choices have enhanced these somehow?

Is this in a freshly moulted young bird or "old" plumage of a mature bird yet to moult?

Quite a few young colouring up..doesnt look like melanism if thats where your going as melanism bleeds into other colours these are just like normals just more depth of colour
