Single Factor X Normal
= 50% Single Factor
= 50% Normal


Single Factor X Single Factor
= 25% Double Factor

Recessive X Recessive
= 100% Recessive


Normal/Recessive X Normal/Recessive
= 25% Normal
= 50% Normal/Recessive
= 25% Recessive
NB: Visually you will be unable to tell which
normals are also split recessive



Recessive X Normal/Recessive
= 50% Recessive
= 50% Normal/Recessive


Normal/Recessive X Normal
= 50% Normal
= 50% Normal/Recessive
NB: Visually you will be unable to tell which
normals are also split recessive



Normal X Recessive
= 100% Normal/Recessive

over base colour white (blue series budgies)



Dominant X Dominant
= 100% Dominant


Dominant X Dominant/Recessive

NB: Visually you will be unable to tell which
dominants are also split recessive

= SL Hens
= Normal Hens
NB: Visually you will not be able to tell which
normals are also split for the SL gene



Normal/SL Cocks X SL Hen
= SL Cocks
= Normal/SL Cocks
