I won't be breeding them for quite a while yet, but I'm curious as to what we may get.

 

Tango is a green dilute spangle and I believe that we worked out the Mango is most likely a violet sky spangle. I have a sheet somewhere that tells me what Tango's mother was (I know it was a green, but the exact mutation escapes me at the moment).

 

So, what sort of babies could we expect after they get together (if they like each other that much!).

 

 

I think that Mango is an opaline spangle. You'd get greens unless Tango is split for blue or yellowface. 25% double factor spangle (all yellow bird), 50% single factor spangle, 25% normal green. Females would be opaline. Babies would be split for dilute -- you won't get any unless Mango is split for clearwing, greywing, or dilute.

 

If Mango is a violet sky blue -- and not a cobalt -- then babies may inherit a violet gene depending on whether his is single or double factor violet.

WHOOPS! I forgot the opaline part. Good eye!

Heyy you!!!

 

I remember!!! Tangos mom was an olive green hen...and her dad was a light green spangle cock :hap:

 

So, youd get:

-green normals

green spangles

female opaline normals and spangles (all green)

 

Kirby :hap:
