hi all, just wondering what outcomes i would get from a dark violet male budgie to a albino with a hint af blue

Does your albino with a hint of blue have dark eyes or red ?

red

I was asking about the eyes as you had said the albino had a hint of blue. Which if it had dark eyes would make it a dark eyed clear budgie. Which it isnt. I will leave it up to cleverer people with genetics to work out the rest for you. Cheers Karen

albinos come from a blue bird so it is normal to see the hue, I remember Nerwen telling me this.

 

As for the outcome I have to work it out myself on my paper will be back

okay, here is what I get (I am still learning these genes so I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong)

 

The ino "albino" gene is sex linked

All your males will be split for the ino gene but will not express the gene

All your females will be normal

 

Unless your male is carrying the ino gene too

25% Male split for ino

25% Male ino

25% Female normal

25% Female ino

 

As for the Violet Gene there is single factor and double factor Violets

 

If you have a single factor bird

50% single factor violet

50% normals

 

If you have a double factor

100% single factor violets

hi, so there is no way i can get a white chick?

no not unless your male is split for ino

It is hard to tell when you breed with an ino, because the ino phenotype masks all the other traits. So basically... you could get any thing.

But no inos. (Laughing out loud) Until the next generation.

Oh and half or all of your babies will have the violet gene. And you will have no green budgies.
