Interesting that you have a blue boy.. that would mean that the daddy is split for blue then. and it seems that both parents are split to yellowface too. or is that just daddy? Umm hmm can't remember is Yellowface blue dominant or recessive over white face blue? anyone? Slick is definitely split to blue. He had blue babies before. Also Sadies Dad is Romeo and Mum was Juliet ( cobalt cinnamon recessive pied ) same parents as your Chase and Blondie Link to comment

Good question. If both birds have a white face then someone is carrying the df yf gene. but if 1 bird has a yellow face then the babies may too Link to comment

Now there's an idea for a new business ************************************************************* On the question of yellow face genes..... This guy Rocket (with the green face) a dark factor mauve spangle is with this girl Shiloh (texas clearbody) They have three babies in the nest. The eldest baby has started to colour up...unless my old eyes deceive me....mauve spangle like Dad, and Yellowface ! I cannot imagine what it's going to look like as I have never seen one before. I am guessing Dad carries the yellow face gene. I know he carries the ino gene, although we don't seem to have any inos in this batch. When he had babies with Swift ( Green opaline spangle ) they were all yellow based birds, an ino or two, a spangle fallow, DF Spangles and YF2's. I assumed from Swift's genes as I am not yet too cluey on genes. Anyway, I wasn't expecting this baby to look like this. I will do photos when we get some more colour.

One way to find out is pair them both with another white visually faced that you knew was a ww and not a df yf. Link to comment

I hate genetics!!! Grrr. getting headaches just thinking about it... Let me get this straight... to get yellowface babies at least one of the parents has to be yellowface, whether it's single factor or double factor correct? so this is then to assume that since both parents are white base birds, it's safe to say that because there's a yellowface baby one of the parents would have to be double factor yellowface correct? Now here's where I got confused... I thought that if one of the parents are double factor yellowface, that would mean that all baby would be single factor factor.... Sooooo therefore since yellowface genes are dominant over normal white base blue, would that means that ALL baby should turn out yellowface?? or am I completely off the track with the double factor gene. I thought that if you breed a double factor bird to a normal bird, you'd get a single factor visual bird. such as the case with dom pied, spangles and yellowface. Obviously both parents can't be double factor in Shiloh and Rocket's case since there's a visual yellowface baby showing. Sooo any thought on how off track I am? Edit... after re-reading the post again about the babies, I'm hoping that all the babies will colour up yellowface. if that is the case, then of course it makes sense.. although it can still be both birds unless if Shiloh had previous clutch and have had yellowfaces as well.

The baby is mostly white, with a definite violet lavender as the other body colour, and with grey spangle patterns on her/his wings...a real beauty . I will try for photos later. They also have raised the only surviving baby from Honey and Luigi and that baby is exactly like Honey. Edited December 2, 2006 by Bubbles Link to comment
