Possible breeding outcomes

[Lyneliz]

Hi,
Would somebody be kind enough to tell me what the possible colour outcomes from my two pairs of IRN's would be please?
They are - Creamino cock and Silver hen
and - Pallidino cock and Lacewing (green) female.
Thankyou very much,
Lynda.

Somehow this question slipped between the cracks. Better late than never I guess

Ok, when you mate Creamino (Turquoiseblue-Ino) x Silver (Grey Cinnamon); you get:

Males:
25% TURQUOISEGREY/Ino/Cinnamon
25% TURQUOISE/Ino/Cinnamon
25% GREY/Ino/Cinnamon
25% BLUE/Ino/Cinnamon

Hens:
25% ALBINO masking Grey. This is a visual Albino!
25% ALBINO
25% CREAMINO
25% CREAMINO masking Grey-Green. A visual Creamino!

Depending on what your goal is, this pairing may not be advisable because you can not be sure of the genotype (genetic code) of the hens due to the masking phenomenon. Masking happens when the Ino gene takes away the ability to synthesize melanin and cancels out the effects of the Grey-Green and Grey mutations on the above offsprings.

It is also possible that your Creamino is a genuine Turquoise-Ino specimen. Therefore, the resulting offspring probability could be:

Males:
50% TURQUOISEGREY/Cinnamon/Ino
50% TURQUOISE/Cinnamon/Ino

Hens:
50% CREAMINO
50% CREAMINO masking Grey-Green


Lastly, for the pairing Pallid-Ino male x Pallid (Green Lacewing) hen

Males:
50% PALLID-INO
50% PALLID (Green Lacewing)

Hens:
50% LUTINO
50% PALLID


Hope that helps.
