Awsum. Thank u for ur help. :)

The turquoise blue pallid I picked up the fsmily if 4. Mum, dad, n 2 18mnth old kids. All same color. Unfortunately dad got badly hurt on a secondhand cage we picked up n he passed away. If a baby is a boy can it be breed with mum so I can kerp the colourline going or should I go hunting for a cock bird of the same color.???

It can, but i don't recommend it.
same genetical rules apply to humans and birds alike.

your birds are a combination of turquoise + Albino = Creamino its not white nor turquoise but something inbetween.
some of the turquoise's green color turns yellow in other mutations such as Pallid and others.

No turquoise

Could also be a Blue
Best to always know the parents of the birds, if not possible, put a blue next to him (similar age) to see if the same

You certainly have a lot of Qs :lol: but at least they are good ones.

only certain sex-linked mutations you can nest sexed, in certain pairings.

ex:
Albino male X Blue hen

you can only have white birds (albino) in hens

* this will not work if hen is albino and blue male, as you get no albino at all, only males will be split INO

Boy do I have alot to learn. :/
Thank you for helping me tho.

I read on a link in here that you can tell if it is a cock or hen by blowing under its wing and whete the wing joins the bidyeill be a blood/Iink spot. Left female, right male. Have you heard of this?
