Lacewing/Pallid Sex-linked question/confirmation
Posted: Tue Aug 26, 2014 11:32 pm
Hi Guys,
More of a confirmation so I know if I've wrapped my head around this...?
I am going back through all the genetics etc as I am wanting to attempt to start breeding again. Last attempt was not to successful due to the fact me and my partner split and he took the breeding pairs..... Now, I have repurchased the book 'Asiatic Parrots and their mutations' as I believe my ex had 'sticky' fingers when he left....
Anyways, this is what I have worked out in my head, is this correct or not? If I have a pallid female and bred with a blue male which is not visible and is not split to pallid, I will have NO visable pallids, however all males will be split correct? Though, if I had a visable pallid male and bred with a blue female, all females will be visable pallid and all males will be split?? Same idea with lutino as well isn't it??
Please, if I have this mixed up, please inform me! I'm trying to wrap my head around it haha
Also, just another question. I currently have a cobalt cock. Should be mature for next breeding season. He is currently just starting his ring.... Was told he is about 1 and a half to 2yrs. I am just trying to work out what I should pair him to? Any suggestions would be muchly appreciated!
Thank you for your time,
Sarah
