sapper756 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 What colours would be produced, when you pair a grizzle to another coloured bird? ie, grizzle x blue grizzle x mealy grizzle x dk chq etc, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjc Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 some grizzles some others, depends also on the base colour of the grizzles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigbok Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 grizzle is mated with selfs to stop them getting lighter so grizzle will not effect the colour of the bird only the intensity of the grizzle grizzle to grizzle will get lighter and end up pure grizzle boardring on white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
