Re: breeding results
this will depend on if the lutino hen is split blue. if she is a straight lutino he will get green/ blue ino cocks and the hens will be green /blue. if she is split blue 50% blue/ino, cocks 50% green/blueino cocks 50% hens blue 50% hens green/blue

Well the beak is now changing to bright orange from the top down, so my guess by it's displaying that it was a cock was correct. So now I have got 2 cock birds so now must look for hens . At least they are not related so should be good for when I breed young in the future when I find hens.

Tabaneske the others forget to mention that the male offspring will be visual blue but split for ino (albino=blueino) and yes the hens will all be blueino . So if you wanted to breed albino(blueino) cocks just keep one blue/ino cock and pair up to enougher albino (blueino) hen.
