12.5% 1.0 blue /pallid
12.5% 1.0 blue /pallid clearhead_fallow

I saw in another post you understand splits etc.
So from these results you can see no visual buttercups can be produced.

So there are 1 of 2 posabilities.

1st the cock is split clearhead fallow(buttercup)
2nd the cock is split ino and not split pallid.

Do either of the parents have red eyes?

I would go with the second option as its more likley.
And here are the results.
1.0 blue /ino
x 0.1 turquoise(parblue)Blue /clearhead_fallow
% from all 1.0
12.5% 1.0 blue /ino
12.5% 1.0 blue /ino clearhead_fallow
12.5% 1.0 turquoise(parblue)Blue /ino
12.5% 1.0 turquoise(parblue)Blue /ino clearhead_fallow
12.5% 1.0 blue
12.5% 1.0 blue /clearhead_fallow
12.5% 1.0 turquoise(parblue)Blue
12.5% 1.0 turquoise(parblue)Blue /clearhead_fallow
% from all 0.1
12.5% 0.1 blue ino (MOST PROBABLE TO BE THE BABY)
12.5% 0.1 blue ino /clearhead_fallow
12.5% 0.1 turquoise(parblue)Blue ino
12.5% 0.1 turquoise(parblue)Blue ino /clearhead_fallow
12.5% 0.1 blue
12.5% 0.1 blue /clearhead_fallow
12.5% 0.1 turquoise(parblue)Blue
12.5% 0.1 turquoise(parblue)Blue /clearhead_fallow


Wait and see if any of the babies are pallid if not then due to the %
i would think the cock is split ino.

Also if the red eyes is albino you have your answer.

Thanks Glenn

i have had a closer look at the chicks and there are two that have plum coloured eyes one has blue pin feathers on the wings and back and the other looks like it will be torquise blue but does not have any colour on its head yet as it was the last chick to hatch but i will no more in about a week about its head colour the breeder that sold me the cock blue bird said it was blue split for lacewing and to look at the bird it looks like a normal blue bird so i think it must be split but it sounds like it is for buttercup not lacewing the parents do not have plum coloured eyes also both the chicks have white nails and pale legs

Give it 10 more days and post pics of the bubs.

sound like dads split buttercup if the birds are blue in colour.

now the chicks are older two of them are torquise blue lacewings because they have yellow heads the others all have black eyes and are torquise blue x2 and blue i think the ones with red eyes must be ino birds

If the parents of the chicks are correct then any baby with red eyes is a hen.

Thanks Glenn
