no idea on genetics ect

Post by sarahb »

well ive recently purchased a breeding pair they have breed before ect and have been in the nest box already i was just wondering since they are both green does this mean they will only have green babys i have no idea on splits or what there parents are ect so this may be a question that cant be answered but thought id ask anyway if there parents were differant colours could this mean that the babys may be some other colour then green. this will be my first lot of babys and i was just curiouse.

if you have 2 green IRNs you will get all green babies unless one or both of your IRNs are spilt to another color
if the parents of you IRNs where different colors then just plain green it could be possible to get different color babies

some hens start sitting with just one egg and others wait untill they have 2 or more

If you get any blue bubs, then both parents are split blue, or any lutino bubs will all be girls and dad will be split ino.

One of my pair usually has at least 4 eggs laying an egg every second day after the first one. She usually begins incubating on the third egg.
