I recently got a pair of 'tiels right on breeding age. They had their first broad, and two of the eggs hatched with no trouble. They're excellent parents.

My surprise, is that these two

Have produced this little fella.

The last thing I was expecting to get was a Whiteface chick.

This is the other chick, who has pale yellow fluff (pastelface or Whiteface split?) And beautiful pink feet and toenails. Makes me wonder what else the parents are hiding!

Thoughts, please?

Wow! Must have been from a whiteface down the line. The second one almost looks like it will be a whiteface pearl from the looks of it's quills. I have two sitting right now and the first one hatched Monday morning. I am thinking from the looks of that snow white, I may have a whiteface. Momma is a white face pearl and dad is a whiteface pied. I am getting a little concerned about the other 6 eggs though. I should have had another hatching by now but when I candle them they all still look viable. One of the eggs does have cracking though.
