What to pair up my pastel blue hen with?
I am getting a pastel blue IRN and was wondering what would be the best mate for it mutation wise?
Re: What to pair up my pastel blue hen with?
1) if you like creaminos then best is to pair with an albino or creamino cock
2) if you like rainbow then pair with a blue palid cock
you will get creamino hens in first generation from first pairing
you will get rainbow hens in first generation from second pairing
2) if you like rainbow then pair with a blue palid cock
you will get creamino hens in first generation from first pairing

Thanks, I think I might go for the rainbow, just got to find a blue pallid cock now

What do you think my normal turquoise male and blue pallid female would produce then?

Hi youngspud,
If nothing else is at play, then a turquoise blue cock and a blue pallid hen will work out like this;
1.0 turquoise(parblue)
x 0.1 blue pallid
% from all 1.0
100.0% 1.0 turquoise(parblue)Blue /pallid
% from all 0.1
100.0% 0.1 turquoise(parblue)Blue
So, both males and female chicks will visually look turquoise(parblue)Blue, but the males will be split to pallid.

The cock isn't a turquoise blue cock, it is just a turquoise cock, would that change anything?

Hi youngspud,
I've only entered your cock as a turquoise (= turquoise(parblue). A turquoise blue would read turquoise(parblue)Blue on the GenCalc.
Not really sure what visual difference there is between the two, (perhaps the latter is more blue than just a normal turquoise(parblue)??).....maybe one of the experts can shed some light on this for us?

Okay thanks yeh I can't tell too much difference between the two besides that the turquoise blue has more blue on it and is a brighter colour.
