My whiteface fallow male and pastelface fallow female have babies!
We have 3 that hatched this week, and one egg left. My big question is this, I've always assumed that PF is dominant over whiteface, Well all three of my babies have white down? Am I missing something? I was hoping for a PF fallow from this clutch, maybe my last egg will be it.
No pics of babies yet, they are all white fuzzies with red eyes.

Hi Gabriella!!! It's been a while since I'be visited the board. It means your PF is actually PF/WF - carries both genes. Looks like the WF genes paired up for the first 3 chicks!

Re: New Fallow Babies and Question
Ellen! yes its been awhile since i've visited too. For some reason I was under the impression PF couldnt be split to WF. Well sad news, the 4th egg never hatched and after about a week all 3 babies were found dead one morning. We are very confused as the parents were feeding and taking great care of them. Not sure what happened but all three died the same morning. I would have pulled babies if I had seen signs of parents neglecting them..

Hi I'm new to the forum.
Wanted to know if you re-bred your pair again and if it was successful?
