it was a lime/blue/pied cock x grey-green/blue hen
it had 2 siblings
a grey-green/lime/?blue/?pied cock
a lime/?blue/?pied hen
wich both died in the nest, i then pulled the grey out and hand-raised it,
the mother plucked them.
i have then got a brother of it from the second clutch wich the mother didn't pluck it is a grey-green/lime/?blue/?pied cock
or a brother from last season which is a grey-green/lime/?blue/?pied

Is it as dark in colour as it appears in the picture Brendan or is that just the picture, I love the colour and i would imagine that the offspring will be really spectacular.
