I was told that these girls' daddy was an African, their momma was an Embden & came with them. The darker ones in the background had the same daddy but their momma was African/Toulouse mix.

Most of the dark-billed ones in this video are african/embden mixes. The one that keeps chewing on the dog is a pure african, much bigger knob.



ETA: Click the pic to view the video, the 2 in the front center are 2 of the 3 babies, the other one (right side) is the african.

I would say that yours are all toulouse/embden mixes, they have very orange beaks and no knobs at all.

They were still kinda young in the pics and hadn't started to develop their knobs yet, they had small ones growing just before i sold them

. The 'ridges' in the neck feathering would be much deeper/prominent if they were Embden/Toulouse mix wouldn't they? They have the longer, thinner, swan goosetype necks too... not like thier mommas short, fat neck

 

[roocrazy]

are they the ones that look like africans in the video

I really hope mine will look like yours bleenie
