I see what maybe in top two but not bottom two. Give it more time and see if goggles

come in.

I would say bay, but the muzzle, tail and legs do indicate a slight chance of a grey.
Btw she is absolutely adorable 🥰

Genetic results are in and...

Grey baby!

Interesting. I'm wondering now about lighting as I've not seen a red going gray with legs that look black or what appear to be ear tips.

It's baby hair. She will probably look much different in a year.

@Agheera your foal is bay. Brown phenotype. Likely EEAa. A black horse would have no brown/tan/cinnamon on the muzzle. Your horse will never be as light as the dam but may lighten a small amount at the next shed this is the dark foal coat that happens after foal camo shed. That horse has a dilution gene acting on body color. Can't tell from the picture if cream or dun though I suspect dun. Nd1 which is part of the dun group would be primitives without dilition but there can be excessive fading in blacks and dark brown bays of the body. Suspect that if there are primitive markings and new coats come in rich then fade over the season. My black and dark bays are homozygous for nd1 and body fade to a rich honey color. Until they fade they are so dark you don't see the primitives.

Dam is ee. Foal absolutely cannot be EE

This foal is quite clearly hyper pigmented and will grey out.
I’m not quite sure what everyone else is looking at to see a bay foal.
Bay base is possible but I can’t see ear tips to determine.
I would want to say red going grey but bay going grey is also possible.

@RFInukshuk Please read the entire thread for content. This is the dam and foal I was referring to.

i did read the entire thread, as I always do.
I have simply misunderstood, apologies.

 

[RFInukshuk]

I disagree here, I believe that your foal is grey and the reason that she looks bay is because she’s hyper pigmented red.
mare is red with pangaré. Extension ee, agouti ?, no cream and positive pangaré

I would think baby is most likely ee agouti?? crcr Gg

I’m Not sure why anyone looks at this foal and thinks no grey

Hi everyone. I had a little filly born 2 days ago and I’m stumped to what colour she is. Posted on a few Facebook genetic groups and the answers are either bay, grey or red. (She’s definitely not red in person, got the stud owner to confirm, light might throw it a different way).
We had a family friend come out (big breeding farm) to have a look at her and he’s putting money on she’s bay. He knows the sire and swears every grey foal that he throws has come out with distinct grey goggles and very dark hyperpigmentation, especially on the legs. I’m not sure how credible that is as I’m sure every foal is different. Some people in the group said that as she had dark skin as a newborn she was grey, but I’ve since learned that that only applies to red based foals and bays have dark skin from birth. I intend on getting her tested in the future but thought it might be fun to have a couple guesses.

She has no white eyelashes if it’s difficult to see. Thanks!!
Sire: Gg Ee crcr A(?)
Dam: ee (Haflinger, not tested)
Also a question. She was born with a very grey muzzle but on day 2, it’s started to darken to dark brown/black. Is this normal?

I have no idea what color she'll be, but WHAT A CUTIE!!!
