As soon as I get this bird(emerald turquoise split CHCT) - If I get this bird!!
I will post pics as it is a mature bird with a proven breeding history - as far as I am aware.

I will try and get a pic with all birds in same photo. ie Supposed violet cobalt, violet, cobalt and whatever the baby is. Light does do funny things. Here is a pic of a violet CHCT from this year that I had enquiries on thinking it may have something else in it due to the photo. The bird is a nice ...

Baby is definitely not violet closer to cobalt. Look at the violet hen with the plain blue and the chick in question behind in the first photo and the next two photos!!! Baby is no way a violet all three photos show it. Third photo particularly -Violet hen top, blue middle, Cobalt??? bottom. He has ...

Ok here are the pictures. Firstly the family of birds. Cobalt green/blue male X violet female and their offspring. I believe they are cobalt and coballt violet green - I would just like some reassurance. Most photos are flash on - Couldnt get the colours to show with no flash. Flash compensation was...

So after reading that article. I am convinced the emerald grey I was offered must not be an emerald - too many blotches on the wings. Maybe and emerald turquoise grey though??? Hopefully after next breeding season I can contribute more to this and can report my findings re: Emerald turquoise/CHCT an...

Mike,
thanks very much for the information and advice.
I will try and find out some more information.

your topic..derail if you wish! :mrgreen: best pics are in the morning or afternoon (I prefer early morning) in natural light- but not direct sunlight. also helps to have a reference bird (of same series ie- Blue or Wildtype Green or better yet, the parents) in the pic- though if these aren't avail...

on the subject of violet cobalt (running the risk of getting off topic here) Identification of this mutation? I have a violet cobalt that appears just like a violet to my eye. Is it only a subtle difference or is the difference very noticable? Or is it markedly different in different birds just as s...

Coincidentally Michael Laffey is the person from whom I am buying the emerald turquoise split cleartail male.

Thanks. I think all the reading was too much for my brain to process in one sitting. I will ask on the parent thing. I have an emerald grey split cleartail and it is a great looking bird. Just that all over change in tone of the grey. I also got some pics of an emerald grey split cleartail I was off...

Hi all. I have read a lot of the threads on the emerald mutation. I thought I had a basic understanding but..... The identification of this colour when combined with others seems difficult. I am so confused. As I am on the verge of purchasing an emerald turquoise split cleartail male I thought I mig...
