I have a couple of new pairs, one of them is an olive male with a cinnamonblue hen so was interested what the outcome may be an whether or not to change this pair.I am also wondering what distinguishes an olive IRN, as I also have a greygreen buttercup hen that looks rather similar ?
Olive could have to distinct meanings:
first: wrongly used for greygreen (but you said you have a greygreen too, so i think your olive is a true one) then you only have to mark grey (EF or DF). This will result in a greygreen bird
second: used for the true olive which is a double dark factored bird. So you have to mark DF dark.
If the male isn't split for cinnamon i would split of the pair. The current pair will give the following offspring if the male is a true olive:
1.0 DD green x 0.1 blue cinnamon
% from all 1.0
100.0% 1.0 D green /blue cinnamon
% from all 0.1
100.0% 0.1 D green /blue
is the male is split for blue:
1.0 DD green /blue x 0.1 blue cinnamon
% from all 1.0
50.0% 1.0 D blue /cinnamon
50.0% 1.0 D green /blue cinnamon
% from all 0.1
50.0% 0.1 D blue
50.0% 0.1 D green /blue
As you can see no cinnamon offspring only split males. Best would be to pair your olive male with a Violetblue, Violet(DF)blue or VioletCobalt (to be prefered) if he is split for blue.
