So I thought if I take a longer route: Pair 1: Winter X Aria - they'll give me: Normal Single Factor Dominant Pied Cobalts Normal Single Factor Dominant Pied Violet Cobalts These birds will be Split to Greywing...is that correct? Pair 2: Sky X Autumn - they'll give me: Normal Single Factor Dominant Pied Cobalts Normal Single Factor Dominant Pied Skyblues Normal Cobalts Normal Skyblues These birds will also be split to Greywing, is that correct? Then if I pick a Normal SF Dominant Pied Cobalt chick from Pair 1's clutch, and a Normal Single Factor Dominant Pied chick from Pair 2's clutch and breed them Normal SF Dominant Pied Violet Cobalt/Greywing X Normal SF Dominant Pied Cobalt/Greywing: Then I can get: Normal Single Factor Dominant Pied Cobalts Normal Double Factor Dominant Pied Cobalts Normal Single Factor Dominant Pied Violet Cobalts Normal Double Factor Dominant Pied Violet Cobalts Greywing Single Factor Dominant Pied Cobalts Greywing Double Factor Dominant Pied Cobalts Greywing Single Factor Dominant Pied Violet Cobalts Greywing Double Factor Dominant Pied Violet Cobalts Is this the possible outcome? Have I missed out on any other possibilities? Link to comment

But that's part of the fun of breeding budgies. Yours B.J. Link to comment

But that's part of the fun of breeding budgies. Yours B.J. But that would mean those genes are recessive, and the common recessive genes need to be present in both the parents...so that could be unlikely, resulting of other mutations...but even if that happens, I won't mind as long as I do get the Dominant Pied Greywing Cobalts Link to comment

Maybe one of the surprise recessive genes will turn out to be greywing. If so, then you might get your goal chick in the first generation. Link to comment
