hi everyone
I have just been given a golden olive female ringneck i have placed her in a cage with a grey male can anyone tell me what chick colours are possible please or even some good sites for me to read i tryed reading a few they lost me totally. from what i got out of reading i think golden olive r sex linked? and greg a domonat but i am still lost any help would b gr8 thanks

Golden Olive IRN are also known as Cinnamon Greygreens. Cinnamon is a sex-linked mutation so you are right.

Grey IRNs are blue series birds whose inheritance is a combination of Dominant Grey and Recessive Blue.

Possible pair offsprings? Let me give this a shot as I am still learning IRN genetics myself:


Grey x Cinnamon Greygreen

Males:
25% GREEN/blue/cinnamon
25% GREY(df)GREEN/blue/cinnamon
50% GREYGREEN/blue/cinnamon

Hens:
25% GREY(df)GREEN/blue
50% GREYGREEN/blue
25% GREEN/blue

So to make a long story short, 75% of the chicks will look GREYGREEN and 25% will look GREEN.

df = double factor (2 alleles carrying the Grey color trait)

Any seasoned breeders out there feel free to correct me.
