Re: Opaline

Ok so 2 x splits will give you an opaline? Or 2 x visuals will give you opalines. Is it sexlinked like pallids and cinnamons?

Opaline

Re: Emerald cobalt Dom pied (harlequin)

Yes please that would be great, sounds like breeding harlequins with an emerald would be a bit of a head ache to be honest, and I doubt many people would know what they would be looking at unless they really know their colours.

Does anyone know the genetic mix of babies you would get if you breed an emerald cobalt Dom pied (harlequin) cock with a Violet hen. What would be the possible colour out come of the babies?

I can get both birds from a professional breeder for two thousand dollars

Re: What would I get

Thanks Robert,
I am not sure if this would change the out come but I was mistaken with the colours of the parents, the dad is a green and the mum is a blue, would that change any of the out come? Also can some one please explain what is a harlequin colour bird and how they come about?

Cheers

Re: What would I get

Unsure as the bird is still young and haven't DNA it yet, the breeder seems to think its a cock tho with his 40 years of breeding IRN and the breeding couple that it's come from.

Hello all
I was wondering what colours would I get if I breed a turquoise blue with a cobalt blue or violet?
The turquoise blue comes from an albino hen and green cock.
I don't know anything about breeding colours so any help would be appreciated thanks
