Hello all need some help with DF pastel blue lacewing or skyblue (blue cinnamon) x violet blue I know if I use the the skyblue over the violet it will give me lavendar, but if I was to use a DF pastel blue lacewing over violet would it produce cobalt blue not sure what I would get using the DF gene.

thanks
Stewart

Hi,
I am not sure if your violet is a cock or hen so I guess and say its a hen.

skyblue (blue cinnamon) x violet blue

1.0 blue cinnamon x 0.1 blue violet(sf)

% from all 1.0
50.0% 1.0 blue /cinnamon
50.0% 1.0 blue violet(sf) /cinnamon

% from all 0.1
50.0% 0.1 blue cinnamon (skyblue)
50.0% 0.1 blue violet(sf) cinnamon (lavendar)

There for all your females will be either sky blue or lavendar.


DF pastel blue lacewing x violet blue


1.0 turquoise(parblue) pallid x 0.1 blue violet(sf)

% from all 1.0
50.0% 1.0 turquoise(parblue)Blue /pallid
50.0% 1.0 turquoise(parblue)Blue violet(sf) /pallid

% from all 0.1
50.0% 0.1 turquoise(parblue)Blue pallid
50.0% 0.1 turquoise(parblue)Blue violet(sf) pallid

there for all your females will be lacewings

the DF, I am not sure if you mean just "D" = Dark? because "DF" means double factor
some breeders reffer DF meaning if you put this bird with anyother bird, it will produce the same colour as it.

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask :D

Thankyou for your reply, and you are indeed correct the violet is a hen. I just wanted to make sure the pairing to the violet and that DF meant double factor and not Dark factor. for this breeding season she is paired her with the skyblue(blue cinnamon).

Thankyou
