Can someone identify type and colour with this boy.

And what do you think I would get if I mated him

with a Lutino.

To me he looks like a light green clearwing

 

Clearwing is recessive so you would not get any clearwings if you bred with a lutino (unless the lutino was carrying the clearwing gene - and a good question for those experts is can you see it if they were carrying that gene?) if not and you wanted clearwings you would have to mate him with a clearwing hen.

 

You would end up with 100% normals with your males being split for the lutino gene. Unless your male bird is split for lutino too (if you know his history) and if he is then you would get

 

Males:

50% Ino

50% Normal

Females:

50% Ino

50% Normal

 

And if I am correct all the birds would be green based unless they were both split for the blue gene - and a surprise can happen but they would have to both give a blue gene to get a blue baby.

 

There could be other surprised too in the recessive pool of course.

 

okay, lets see how I did when the experts come on

Wow,,thanks for that Lovely.

What do you call the marks on his wings?

 

Cheers

nice work Lovey.. you're getting so good with your genetics!! I'm still getting my head wrap around the percentages.. hehe

 

 

Paul... he is a clearwing which makes his wings seems 'not there'... hehe..

Thanks Cheeta - I use the website http://www.geocities.com/budgie-place/p_colors.html#ino it really helps me out and explains it in simple words plus I did take 1 couple course in college but that was YEARS ago and it was human genetics but pretty much the same when you are figuring out recessive and dominant aspects the only difference is the xx and xy with the female and male in birds is reversed which I believe Rainbow or Nerwen explained to me. (Laughing out loud) These ladies have been a great help and patience.

wonderful work lovey Just one little mistake:

Females:

50% Ino

50% Normal

 

IF he is split Ino all the female chicks would be Ino.

Beautiful bird.

 

I think that Lovey was right the first time. If a he is split to ino, then there is a 50% chance of him passing the gene to male or female offspring so you could get normal females and -ino females.

Normal/split Lutino cock Lutino hen =

Lutino cocks

Normal/split Lutino cocks

Lutino hens

Normal hens

 

if he were an ino then all the female chicks would be ino.

OMG your right I'm so sorry Lovey I don't know what I was thinking before. Sorry for the confusing folks

 

Paul do you have a clearbody or greywing you can match to this guy?

Hi nerwen, not at the moment I have mainly opaline and spangle hens and an albino hen

and yellow face grey hen and they are all only around 9 months old, so I

guess they would be to young to breed with anyway.

 

Cheers nerwen and everyone for the imput, it's very much appreciated.

 

Paul

Nerwen...no worries - I am glad I was right
