help with colour of bird

[Lushen1600]

Hi I recently purchase a breeding pair of birds and the male is similar to the pic on top of this forum page, he is green with a little blue above his ring on the back of his head what colour is he? Also I'm pairing him with a Lutino female, does anyone know what colour babies I would get

Hi Lushen

The male sounds like a normal green. The babies will all be green, with the males split to lutino.

Regards

Shane

Thanks, I spoke to the breeder from which I bought the breeding pair and he said that I will get some yellows as well because the green is split to give me yellows, is this possible, can someone explain how this works, or is the breeder lying to me

[Lushen1600]

Ok I got the answer to my question in another post from madas and rob which means I will definitely get some yellow babies but now I have another question is it possible for my Lutino female to be split or are Lutino only carrying the lutino gene and won't carry any other gene no matter what you cross the Lutino with. So what I'm trying to figure out is with my pair I'm gonna get some Lutino babies although the dad is a green split and the mum is a Lutino, will these Lutino babies especially the male one carry any green from the father which will show up when I mate the Lutino male baby with another Lutino female or will I just get all Lutino babies from this cross. Sorry for all the questions but I,m just trying to increase my knowledge as this sounds so interesting

Hi there,

Yes your hen can be split to other mutations at a guess if it was it would only be blue.

Now if you pair a lutino with a lutino thats all you will get.

Unless they are both split blue and you would have the ability to produce albinos.

Now if you breed the lutino male baby with a blue bird it will only produce green babies.

Hope it helps.

Thanks Glenn

Thanks Glenn so if my cock is a green split lutino and if my hen is a lutino split, then what colour babies can I expect

Hi ino split what would be my question back to you.

I'm not sure if my Lutino hen is split or what she could be split with, what are the options that she could be split with and working with these options what babies would I get
If there are too many options I understand. Will try and post pics of my ringnecks later

[dog_glenn123]

OK with hens there are alot less options then with cocks.

What where the parents of the ino and i could narrow it down for you.

But it can be split blue, turquoise, rec. pied, edge dilute, clearhead _fallow, cleartail, NSL Ino, bronze fallow, dilute and there other mutations that arent in gencalc that may.

The out comes of all these splits would depend on what the cock bird displayed or was split too.
Basically you would have to have a cock bird that was one of these or carried the mutation.
Thanks Glenn

Ok found out from the breeder, the hens father is a green split lutino and the hens mother is a lutino and therefore the hen is a visual lutino. The cocks father is from another pairing of a green split lutino and the cocks mothers is a Lutino and therefore he is visually green. So if the cock from this pairing is green split yellow, then the hen will be Lutino split ????

[dog_glenn123]

Hi there the hen will be split nothing it will just be a plain ino(lutino).


1.0 green /ino
x 0.1 ino
% from all 1.0
50.0% 1.0 green /ino
50.0% 1.0 ino
% from all 0.1
50.0% 0.1 ino
50.0% 0.1 green

This is the outcome of your pair,

Thanks Glenn
