red dog Posted November 4, 2018 Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 Possibly an opal grizzle opal can be recessive so it can be bred from birds that don,t show it . Two years ago I bred one, a blue ground opal from a pair of blue chequers . It is an attractive mutation . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billt Posted November 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2018 have any of your family thrown any others like this Bill ? Sometimes have white grizzles that have come down from the Kirkpatricks. Got down to ten birds earlier this year, five blue grizzles and five blues, then they have produced the bird in pic. Plus two white grizzles so they keep coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
