Ringneck Mutation Help

Post by buddy318 »

I have a male white ringneck (not an albino). He is pure white except he has a grey ring & dark eyes. I am unsre of what mutation he is or how to put him into gen calc. He is paired with a Lutino hen.
They produce fertile eggs but kill babies as soon as they hatch. We have successfully incubated one baby and are handfeeding now. It appears to be a normal red eyed albino.
Would this baby be linked female and what mutations should they be able to produce?

The Ino or Albino and Lutino is sex linked so to breed an Albino from this pairing would suggest that the cock may be a Silver Pallidino and the hen is split Blue. A Silver Pallidino can appear almost white but will develop a lighter neck ring. Also know as a Cinnamon Grey Pallidino.
