and 3 dominant genes?? so if the budgie has clearwing and greywing you just wouldnt see clearwing or thats cant happen?

it looks great!

okay thanks. so since a budgie can carry two dominant genes, can they be diffrent?

can a budgie be split for a dominant gene? im still having little trouble with the sex-linked mutations... so male is xx and girl xy. Y is the sex-linked genes so for a male, two sex-linked genes will mask xx so you get yy????? ANd for a female you only need one Y(sex-linked gene) because you already have one Y. So you always need two Ys for a visual sex-linked mutation. am i completely wrong???

they are wondeful.

i hope lucas is allright.

awesome cage man!!

okay, i think i get it!!

thanks so much guys. so you need two sex-linked recessive genes to actually have a visual budgie that has the sex-linked gene?

thanks so much guys.

that helps a lot thanks. what about 6 and 7?? so only if both parents have one recessive gene chics can be recessive?? what is both birds are blue and one is recessive pied the other one dilue, the chick wont have either one right?

for number three, what if there is no dominant gene? a few more questiosn.. 5. males can be split for a recessive gene right(not sex-linked recessive)???? 6. What is the chance of getting a sex linked baby if for example the female is albino(sex-linked) and the male a blue recessive pied(recessive)?? 7. And what about sex-linked and dominant???

looks awesome

great tips. Also, if you do have to touch th eggs use those plastic gloves.

i thinks so too.

I think I mosty understand basic gentics now, I just have a few question... I might have asked one or two alreadt, just making sure.. 1. only dominant varietys can be single or double factor correct? 2. Only males can be split for sex-linked recesive mutations right? 3. Recessive Genes only show when both parents are split for recessive or if female is recessive and male is split for recessive? 4. You can only get sex-linked cocks if both parents have the same sex-linked mutation or if you have a sex-linked hen and a cock thats split to the same sex-linked mutation. those are all qustion that i hav for now.. I appreciate the help :rip:

they are very cute

Chico is almost 6 month, and kiky 9-10 month. this picture was taken 2 month ago though. and thanks so much ellulah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Do you have a picture of him with the old spots and the ones after you plugged some feather?? that would be cool to see

congrats!!! your budgies are beautiful.

fritz is beautiful.

they all look gorgeous.

thanks feathers. Without the help i would be so confused.

okay , sry didnt know that.

there is many chemicals that keep mice away, the question is if the smell will hurt the budgies.
