You will get all Lutino babies, some split to blue and some split to turquoise. If your Lutino is split to blue you will get Lutino/blue or turquoise, Albino and Creamino (Turquoise-ino)

Re: Color Change Chances

Yes. Its impossible to give an exact chance percentage, but it isn't uncommon for them to be split to something. If both parents are split to blue you can also expect blue babies. The male can be split to Ino, Cinnamon, Opaline, or Pallid and you'd get females in those colors. They can also be split...

If both parents are normal colored Blue and Turquoiseblue then your baby is a female. Only the dad can be split to Cinnamon. Split means he carries the gene but you can't see it. It's little confusing, but bare with me. In birds, males have 2X chromosomes (XX) and females have 1X and 1Y chromosome (...

Hello Ranjan,

The female that is light blue with a white head is a Pallid Blue (aka Blue Lacewing). Are you sure that the one with green markings doesn't have a cream color head instead of white? If it is cream colored then it might be Pallid Turquoiseblue. Hope this helps.
