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?

colourful budgies?? Whatever they are they're gonna be a mouthful to say!!!! :D

**sorry Im in a cheeky mood tonight!!**

YFT2 greywing sky blue clearflight pied spangle

opaline sky blue dominant pied

 

Since the male is the opaline then female babies would be opaline. You could get 50% spangles 50% non spangles

50% dominant pieds / 50% non dominant pieds

and if Sweetpea is actually clearflight pied -- 50% clearflight pieds/ 50% non clearflight pieds. So some babies could be spangle and pied.. or one of the other .. or neither.

Babies would all be split for greywing or dilute. If sweetpea is double factor yellowface then you could get all yellowfaces.. if single factor then 50/50.

Don't read non spangle to be split. You can't get a budgie that is split to spangle. It either is or isn't.

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.

Since both of them look to only a Single Factor Pied they both should have one pied gene and one normal gene. Some of the babies can get the normal gene from both parents.
