Re: Albino babies

OK but how do I know if my lutino cock is split blue? suppose you dont, I have only ever mated him with his lutino mate and have always had lutino babies. What if hes not split can he just be lutino? Then wont I get albino babies with pairing him with blue hen?

Hi there the only way you can tell is waiting nearly 2yrs to see if they get rings apart from that DNA is the only way to be sure

Re: My Lutino female

Hi theres no way of knowing if she is young, under 2 she could be a he and not have a ring yet, if you know she is over 2 then yes its a she and she should be able to breed. DNA testing is the only way to tell. They all look the same until the male gets a ring about 18mths-2yrs Cheers Leigh
