After reading a recently re-actived thread on breeding different sub species of birds, my partner and I were talking on the subject.
Shane was telling me about a local guy who is breeding the, (apparently), first lutino alexandrine in Australia by crossing a IRN with an Alex, and using 2 sets of parents. Crossing coloured chicks over the oposite parents and so forth. A claim is being made eventually a pure lutino Alex will result.
Now I am not good with genetics, but to us it seems that once a IRN gene has been introduced to an Alex, it will NOT be a pure Alex, ever.
Is this correct or is it possible that the IRN will be bred out and left with a pure lutino Alex?
