But that is possible also, you get conjoined twins  :-/

 

 

Conjoined twins are the incomplete seperation of one fertilised egg which has begun to split into two, to form two seperate individuals, twins. It is not two seperate eggs or individuals trying to merge into one, as is  being proposed here (I think) in the formation of a mosiac pigeon.

True but then maybe the other is somewhat possible as well :-/

hi everyone...what do you call this color

cheerss

They look like dominant opals.

 

[Guest]

What colour are their parents, are the youngsters cocks or hens, from the same parents?  A bit of history would be helpful.

[pjc]

they also won't be the same colour now they've moulted!

Any upto date pics?

[Michael J Burden]

I have since changed my mind and they are recessive opals. I have one very similar.

[Michael J Burden]

This is a dominant opal hen.

 

[TERRY JOHNSON]

Michael, Would a pair of recessive opals breed more opals, if not what would you pair together to breed opals ?.

Thanks for that Redcheqhen I had a quick glance but too complicated for my little brain -- can anyone put it in simpler terms.?

A pair of recessive opals will breed nothing but opals.

 

If you paired an opal to a blue you would have to pair one of the resulting young back to the opal parent or another youngster bred from an opal to get opals.

[TERRY JOHNSON]

I'll be trying that -- thanks Beautyhomer

[Michael J Burden]

Terry only just seen your question. I think it has been answered above.

[little sam]

This is a dominant opal hen.

 

 

 

 

Is that yours Michael ?

[Michael J Burden]

Yes Sam she is a Jan Theelen and cost quite a bit of money. A 2005 bird so I am looking forward to breeding her this coming year.

[little sam]

Michael, Is that the colour that if paired to a black would breed that colour with the funny name (Cant remember it)
