I have recently purchased an albino irn who came from a blue cock and an albino hen. What does that mean for the albino chick? I'm trying to understand this do I don't have to ask for help all the time.
I want to pair it with a green or a grey. What would the chick's be in these pairings?
Thank you for your help

Re: help working out mutations
You need to have them sexed as this will vary your breeding outcomes. You also need to know if the green and grey are split for other mutations, as this will also give variations to your breeding results.
Basically you can expect greens, greys and blues. However, depending on the albino's sex and the splits of the other two, you may also breed Lutinos, albinos and various other mutations like pallid and cinnamon.
This is why an accurate genetic history of all birds is important when trying to predict breeding outcomes. Without it you just never know what to expect.
