I think the chances are pretty high that you will get mainly Yellow Lacewings; depending on what Recessives they both may carry. I have put my Lacewings down in an attempt to get more & some splits, but no action as yet. Good luck. Link to comment

Last time I did they only successfully raised 1 chick who was . . . ahem, different. She lived roughly the same time as Angel and they were best friendswho grew up together and who were both different. If I have the same result this time round then I know the cocks genes are flawed as I have bred from the hen before with perfect results. Fingers crossed for good genes. :ausb: Link to comment

He looks a nice bird, if you think he has a problem it might be worth mating him to another unrelated bird to get some splits & then mate one of these back to the Lacewing hen, that may get rid of the problem.

She was physically (dwarfish) & I think mentally challenged as well. The problem is I don't know that there is a problem, it's just a feeling I got last pairing because the other chicks died & Angels Friend was challenged. We will find out over the next 5-6 weeks.

Lacewing to lacewing is cause for smaller birds than their parents. Or so I have been told though our budgerigar club. Link to comment

Its a "look" that the boys get when they are trying to woo the hen also more obvious in show bred birds than pet types. Edited October 2, 2007 by KAZ Link to comment

I have heard two ideas on the lacewing. One it is a composite of the ino gene and the cinnamon gene, the other that it is a gene. You hear from some breeders that the bird is split to lacewing. If this was the case lacewing to lacewing should give all lacewing. But yours is definately lutinos. - Interesting. Link to comment
