Thanks a lot, Ringneck.

Hi, I live here in California and my IRN did not breed this year. They're already starting to moult. Should I remove the nest boxes and let them go through their moult ( I know it's a lot of stress for them) and wait for the next breeding season? Also, if I want to break up a mating should I wait un...

Hi Recio ~ thanks for clearinng a lot of my questions. In order to get visual violets (blue-violets) with your male that is the best option: female blue. The problem is not the female but the male: it carries lutino and pallid genes which will be expressed by his daughters hidding any possible visua...

Hi Recio, honestly this thread is getting interesting and exciting :P To get visual violets you just need blue genes in both parents (since blue mutation is recessif) and one violet gen from one of the parents (since violet is dominant). There are some mutations which will "hide" the viole...

Recio, thanks for your time. At the moment I don't know what I want to concentrate on. I'm just following want the breeders and people like you to advise me as to what is the best mutation. If there is one goal here is to produce Violet mutations, hence acquiring the Violet Turquoise Palladino male ...

Thank you Recio, for going out that far. I'm actually thinking of getting a VioletGreen female for him. I do have a Turquoise Lacewing hen that I'm thinking of mating to him next year. She is actually mated to a Violet Turquoise Palladino male. I purchased them as a pair. Also, I do have some 2009 h...

Thanks Recio, I appreciate your help.

" Provided the parents are not splits, and that your fallow is a clearhead fallow (buttercup) this is a pairing to avoid since you will only get green birds for both males and females: Green males splits fallow and blue or turquoise (if dad is SF turquoise) and cinamon. Green females splits fal...

Wow. all these calculations for a bunch of green birds. Anyway thanks for your help - Recio. Appreciate it.

Hi Saud & Recio,

Maybe you can help in predictiing what mutation will I expect from this pair, Male is a Fallow Turquoise and the Female is a Green Cinnamon. At least this what the breeder told me. Appreciate your response. Thanks.

Chris,

Congratulations for a beautiful and informative website. It surely will put the fire on all IRN breeders and motivate beginners like me to come up with more beautiful mutations after viewing this website. Great job.

Hi Jay,
It's been a while, hope everything is fine.

Madas ~ thanks, I will try to contact the breeder and ask the make-up of the parents.

Madas - here's the picture of the pair. Male is a blue/cleartail and the female is a blue violet (sf) ino cleartail. Am just copying to what the breeder told me. http://s650.photobucket.com/albums/uu228/baut1957/?action=view&current=BartJessicaSimpson.jpg http://s650.photobucket.com/albums/uu228...

Madas, sorry to confuse you. I will send a picture of the pair. I paid $500.00 for this pair.

Thank you Madas. The percentage shown means the percentage of the genes that compromised the chicks, right? Does it mean that the higher the percentage of a certain mutation the more likely I will have that mutation on the offspring. :?: I believe on the second pair, the female is a split Cleartail ...

Hi, my name is Leo :) and I'm a beginner, and have just acquired 2 pairs of IRN. I reside in Northern California, San Jose to be exact and have been in this great hobby just last March. I bought a Violet Turquoise Pallidino male paired up with a Turquoise Lacewing female. The second pair is a Blue C...
