Spade is df violet, grey, opaline and also split ino and cinnamon.

I am going to learn alot about the genetics of this pair with this clutch! I hope all goes well as this is their first time together.
They currently have 5 eggs that are all fertile, and they are due to start hatching the 13th, so here we go!

Baby 1 looks like a grey. Baby 2 is albino. Baby 3 looks like its a pied or some sort? Domanant maybe? Which I was not expecting as I did not thin the albinos parents had any pied in them but apparently they did. And baby 4 looks like another albino.
Here are some pics!

Babys colors are starting to come out and I think I may finally have bred my first Lacewing!
Baby 1 is bright violet, I have never seen a baby with such strong color before they molt!
Baby 2 is the one I believe is a lacewing as I have never seen a albino baby with the colors she has in her quils (they are more brown then pink as you can see when you compare them with her albino sisters pink quils in the pics) and the tiny bit of feathers that are coming out of her 2 middle tail are light tan not white. She also seems to have very faint cheek patches that you can see in the first pic.
Here are the babies today! Everyone is doing very good!

"Marshmallow" as we have nicknamed the youngest albino boy loves to preen everyone as you can see in the pictures hehe.
