Here's something I haven't seen before in my racers. I have a sex-linked pair that produced two red babies. They are velvets, like the dad, and red like the mom. BUT this guy looks awful dark! Mom doesn't look darker than normal and I can't really tell with dad. What kind(s) of modifiers do you think this little guy has in him? Looks a bit like red velvet indigo? But where would that come from? Not the dad for sure. I've already given away one of the babies, but both had dark grey in the flights and their tails are grey/red with a washed out tail bar. This should make a very pretty cockbird.
By the way, Darby if you see this thread, this will be your bird tuesday
The baby, mom, and dad are the first few pictures in the album:
