recessive pied muave cinnamonwing and a normal green? I say muave because the blue down by the tail looks muave to me.. so I say normal greens split to blue/rec pied and males will be split to cinnamon, unless of course the green is split for any of the rec. genes.. or I am mistaken and the rec. pied is the male...

usually I make my birds some boiled chicken eggs, my males love it and usually gobble it up before the hour is out.. the problem, we dont have any eggs.. well, I have a pair of rouen ducks and my female is laying right now, I remove any egg she may lay daily so any eggs in the coop are fresh, is the oil content in duck eggs too much for budgies? has anyone fed duck eggs to their birds? I'll exclude the shell as the drake usually rolls it around in the bedding and get it nasty before I let them out and have access to remove the egg. if it's not a good idea I suppose I could go out and get a dozen chicken eggs. :grbud:

since they are both dominant pied varieties does that mean I wont get normals? this is where my confusion came from as I already know how dominant genes like spangle work and sex linked genes and so forth. Sweetpea is deffinatly pied, she has a pied patch and lacks all color on the lower half of her wings.

just want to make sure what I will likely get from them. Sweetpea is a YFT2 greywing sky blue clearflight pied spangle. Boidie is a opaline sky blue dominant pied. what do you guys think I'll get?

the blue is Dom. pied, the green is rec. pied...

they are all spangles, baby got pied from mom. your hen looks like my Sweetpea.

1) Can a recessive pied be bred from a pair of dominant pieds? Depends, are they split? 2) Can a dominant pied be bred from a pair of recessive pieds? no 3) There are no known dominant varieties with red eyes. Is this statement true or false? False 4) Is it possible for a bird to be visually carrying the color gray, violet, dark factor, sex-linked, dominant and recessive traits all at the same time? no 5) The yellow face on a yellow face blue is considered to be a dominant trait. What is the white face on a green considered to be? B. does not exist 6) Name four varieties for each of the following. Dominant; Grey, Yellow Base, Pied, Spangle Recessive; Pied, Dilute, Fallow, Blue Sex-linked; Ino, Cinnamon Wing, Opaline, Clearbody 7) What are the only ways to breed a sex-linked cock? Mark all that apply. E. hen has to be split, cock has to be split F. hen has to be split, cock has to be sex-linked H. hen has to be sex-linked, cock has to be split I. hen has to be sex-linked, cock has to be sex-linked 8) When a bird is said to be masking something, what does that mean? Also, give an example. A. split for another color or variety, example; blue cock split for albino 9) What dominant varieties change appearance when they have two genes for the trait? DF spangle, DF dom. pied varieties 10) What does it mean when a bird is said to be split? B. not visible on the bird but carrying one gene for another color or variety result - 5 2/3 full answers to come soon

have you had any issues with birds that were paired together before that are now paired with different birds? everytime I allow my dominant pied access to view the females he always pays attention to my now retired normal blue hen which was the one he was paired with for a year.

so what do you make of Rockys' band? AAAAA0014 the color is red, it's an American band

will the dark factor from the male effect the grey mutation of the chicks? also looks like maybe the hen in spangle but it's hard to tell.

do you have a picture you can post?

so 3 colbalt YF spangles a DF spangle and a normal green

I agree with Sailorwolf, they are not opaline. http://www.geocities.com/budgie-place/p_co...l#recessivepied this is an opaline bird;

I say she's a spangle aswell, look at the edges of her wings and toward the center of her back. to me she looks, dominant pied greywing opaline spangle.

the common belief about half siders is that they are twins that fail to seperate. http://www.geocities.com/budgie-place/p_co....html#halfsider the recessive pied would have to be YF type II as there is yellow bleeding into the blue and masking the white. so.. half-sider; rare trait not a gene. opaline; sex-linked - quite common rec. pied; recessive - rather common dark factors; semi-dominant yellowface(I and II); dominant or semi-dominant? green; dominant blue; recessive

either grey or mauve as already stated, the one is and opaline

sky blue YF type II spangle greywing clearflight pied hen.

are rubber trees (Ficus elastica) really safe? I've always read that if anything ingests the sap they will become sickly and possible die? I've also heard willow is toxic?? both are listed as safe here http://www.mdvaden.com/bird_page.shtml

he's not pied, no pied patch(that I can see) on the back of the head nor does he have recessive pied markings, looks like he's going through a molt, thats probly what made you think pied?

the chicks will be normal greens and dominant pied greens split for blue, the other bird looks like a cobalt dominant pied.

the color a DF spangle turns out to be is desided by it's base color, a green DF spangle will be yellow, a blue DF spangle will be white. and I assume the birds in question are both relatively young as I dont see an iris ring on the hen either.

okay, Thanks :bluebudgie:

her tail is white/yellow. so would you say; clearflight greywing spangle(SF) yellowface type II ?
