I have no idea what to pair him with. I'm not necessarily fixated on producing lots of TCBs - I like variety in my babies. I have no idea what he might be split for. The hens I have are: Skyblue opaline cinnamon dominant pied / recessive pied Green series lacewing Goldenface skyblue violet opaline cinnamon Cobalt spangled Goldenface skyblue opaline Any ideas?

Try and keep cinnamon out of them because it fades their beautiful colour. here is a table any way I hope this helps.

I don't show, only breed for my own pleasure, but I don't want to be messing up a mutation by adding other mutations that aren't complementary either. So would a nice normal green hen do the trick?

I have been breeding them for a couple of years now and i am having trouble with suffusion because so far I have put my clear body with a normal hen and this year I put his daughter with another clearbody and I have been told to put the with ino to improve the suffusion but then I find they go small, can't win.

Eyes are black as far as I can see, in the photos and in person,and the markings on his wings are black shading to grey. This is the only red-eyed bird I have: Link to comment

EDIT- 2nd thoughts these two hens could be good too: Green series lacewing - inos could appear if he is split for ino (tcb is a par ino gene). Goldenface skyblue violet opaline cinnamon - same as the other yellowface above but split cinnamons sons as well. . Edited December 1, 2011 by *Nerwen* Link to comment

I don't know how long it will take me to find a green I'm happy with, so I'm considering the cobalt spangled hen. She's a nice chunky hen who shouldn't be carrying any surprises, and I'll be able to see which babies are spangled so there won't be anything extra lurking in the genes for future generations.
