colors

Post by Oliver and Justin »

so lets say

the dad is grey green and mom is cininamon turqoise.

Is the baby chick that is grey green more likely to be male or is it the same.

And is a cininamon turqoise chick likely to be female?


Just a question thanks

Hi Justin

I have a book called 'A Guide to Asiatic Parrots', which has got a few pages with breeding combinations and what you're likely to get, but looking through it, I still can't find out what Paulie might be... He's from Lutino parents, where at least one of them must have been split, in order to get a green or green/split baby.

Genetics is extremely interesting, but I think we need to know the mutations further back than just the parents.
Cheers

Thanks Julie

Paulie is green, but both his parents were Lutino - I don't know what the parent's parents were.

Any Grey Green produced from this pairing will have an equal chance of being male or female.

If a Cinnamon Turquoise chick is produced from this pairing, then the father is split to both Cinnamon and Blue. As such, the Cinnamon Turquoise chick can also be either gender.

Additionally, a Grey Green male produced will be split to Cinnamon and either Blue or Turquoise. A female Grey Green offspring will be split to either Blue or Turquoise.


Hope that helps.

It's genetically impossible for two Lutinos to produce a Green bird. Depending on what the splits are of either parents, ALL the offsprings when mating two Lutinos together will either be Lutino, Albino or Creamino.

There must have been a mix up somewhere :wink:

Thanks for that information... The breeder must have told fibs, when she said both parents were yellow. :shock:
