Can anything be split to violet? I'm trying understand the whole genetics..
I have a pair blue lacewing male x violet female and I kept two of their offspring two blue lacewing so are they split to violet?
Another thing I live in Texas and have four violet females breeding age would like to trade one for a violet male or other rare male breeding age! Thanks

Re: Trade violet hens breeding age in Texas
no birds can be split for violet , violet is a co-dominate mutation just like gray

Re: Trade violet hens breeding age in Texas
I think you mean violet is an incomplete dominant mutation. Grey is dominant.
I am owned by my birds...and I wouldn't have it any other way
Re: Trade violet hens breeding age in Texas
Skyes, some would actually disagree with your statement, seeing violet as dominant as well with no difference between SF/DF phenotypes. However, I do believe one can see a difference in SF/DF, so I also think it is incomplete dominant.Skyes_crew wrote:I think you mean violet is an incomplete dominant mutation. Grey is dominant.

Johan, I stick to incomplete dominant in violet for the fact that in the nest an SF/DF can easily be distinguished. Not as easy sometimes as adults though With a grey, unless the history of the bird is known, there is no way to tell SF/DF from each other thus making it a dominant mutation. Is that correct?

Sounds about right to me.
Re: Trade violet hens breeding age in Texas
Side by side a DF Violet is easily recognised next to a SF Violet. The problem is shown when comparing DF Violet to Dark Violet and Deep Violet.
VIOLET BLUE, DF VIOLET BLUE, COBALT VIOLET, DEEP VIOLET BLUE

Re: Trade violet hens breeding age in Texas
Has there been both an SF/DF produced in Dark and Deep Violet?
