I suspect there was a bit of nest hopping in one of my Quarrion aviaries this time around .

The pairs I have are Cinnamin boy x Lutino Pearl hen ( which have always thrown Lutino Pearls and Cinnamin Pearls )
and Whiteface Platinum Pearl boy x Normal Pearl hen ( but could have any combination of genes as I dont know the history and first time breeding them )

OK so Ive done the gencal thing and this one is not showing up ...




Im hand rearing and can usually pick the boys by their behaviour , this one is naughty and vocal so Im guessing male if that helps .
Which brings me to my question ...Do you think it is a silver or a cinnamin ? And is it too young to take in eye colour yet ?

Any ideas please ?

Thats all and thanks.

I think it looks silver but then the photo looks a bit overexposed so it could be cinnamon.....lol no help I know

Platinum Lutino perhaps ????

Cinnamon is sex linked recessive so if it's cinnamon male then one of the hens is also split cinnamon - which is not possible. If it's cinnamon it must be a hen.

It acts like a boy so would I be safe assuming a silver or platinum ??

This is why I have 1 pair per aviary , broke my own rule and this is what happens . Dont know if its a or a

Looks a little like the Cinnamoninos that Budgiebreeder has had turn up from a pair which involves Cinnamon and Ino as your 1st mentioned pair does. Hopefully she will pop on and have a look some time soon.

What you have is a Cinnamon lutino . Not sure how the pearl has managed to go missing,

Have had another look at the first photo and the flight feathers look more silver then cinnamon. don't have experience with platinum so don't know if it can have the same kind of combination effect that you get with cinnamon and lutino.

Best way I could think of was to take him out to the aviary and hold him next to the Cinnamin boy out there . Def not as brown as the Cinnamin , leaning towards the platinum .

The Youngest sibling is coming out of pin feather and has the same colours but appears to be pearled .

How exciting is this

def looking Platinum / Lutino
The middle one much the same only pearled
