Lutino split Blue cock x Lutino female

Post by Stacey »

This seems like it should be a basic question, but I can't seem to find confirmation of an answer.
I am getting a young ringneck soon, but don't know what colour it will be yet. All I know is the parents are both lutino, with the male split for blue. What are the potential colours from this pairing? Will all chicks be lutino, or could there be blue females.. or green females...?
Also, what is the difference genetically between a lutino/blue and a blue/"ino" male?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi;

Following possibilities from ino/blue cock & ino hen :-

Cock ino /blue x Hen ino
% from all Cocks
50.0% ino
50.0% ino /blue
% from all Hens
50.0% ino
50.0% ino /blue

An ino/blue bird belongs to the green series mutation colors while blue/ino will be a blue series bird. Genetically an ino/blue male will carry 2 ino genes (a sex linked gene) and 1 blue gene (an autosomal recessive gene) while a blue/ino male will carry 2 blue gene & 1 ino gene.

All chicks will be Lutino. Some split to Blue.

Lutino /Blue is a Yellow bird that is split Blue - Carrying the Blue Gene but doesnt show it. Can be a Cock or a Hen.
Blue /Ino is a Blue bird that is split to Ino. It will be a Cock bird. Hens cant be split Ino.
