that can be a bit dangerous as the female can become VERY agressive in breeding season and might injure the male due to the lack of attention to her... competition is not advised...

Hi there it is possible but is actually a huge drain on the male as he will need to feed
both the hens and also take turns at sitting on the eggs and feeding the chicks.

He will become extremly tired from all that running around, and as Azure said the hens can become aggressive not only to the male but the other hen.

Hi there the results you will get are as follows.

1.0 ino
x 0.1 blue pallid
% from all 1.0
100.0% 1.0 pallidIno /blue
% from all 0.1
100.0% 0.1 ino /blue

I would pair a male baby to another blue pallid(lacewing). (Like what the mother looks.)

Then you will get the following babies.

1.0 pallidIno /blue
x 0.1 blue pallid
% from all 1.0
25.0% 1.0 blue pallidIno
25.0% 1.0 pallidIno /blue
25.0% 1.0 blue pallid
25.0% 1.0 pallid /blue
% from all 0.1
25.0% 0.1 blue ino
25.0% 0.1 ino /blue
25.0% 0.1 blue pallid
25.0% 0.1 pallid /blue


Hope it helps thanks Glenn

the 1.0 means a male 0.1 means a female the% is the percentage of what colours and type of chicks the parents are able of producing,the / means that the bird is split so although it is lacewing will be carrying the blue gene in this case which is not visible although that colour can be passed on to its chicks when paired up
