[LadyCalypso]

Ok so just for fun what would give me the most colors of chicks? or just different mutations? here is what I have that I am using to start my mutation breeding out with any suggestions? most of the birds here are obivously to young to breed yet but I can day dream until they are ready lol thanks for any suggestions I am also looking for a Turquoise (Pallid) lacewing cock to pair with a violet hen turns out Turquoise Pallid cocks are not as easy to find as I thought they might be lol

Seems as if the father should be a greygreen cock, rather than an olive, otherwise they wouldn't be able to produce a grey offspring. Greygreen and olive look very similar (different coloured tail feathers). Unless the father is olive, and the hen is albino cobalt or mauve, then the chick is actually a mauve / ino, rather than a grey. This seems highly unlikely, though. Your bird most probably is a grey / ino male if the mother is albino, so 50% of his sons and daughters will carry ino. You won't know with the sons, as it is recessive. Best choice would be with a hen carrying ino as well. Turquoise ino (creamino) would be good.

His father is olive and the mother is ino masking grey found through breeding so the pair is right he is olive she is ino i bought them from a reputable/knowlagable breeder in California called the beak i have never seen the parents but trust she knows what she is doing i called her to ask today and she said olive not grey geen thank you fo the info though it started making me think :)I love it
