okay i know i posted a picture of this girl before but cant find it was wondering agai what she was and what would be the outcome if i paired her up with the love of her little life a skyblue greywing?

 

she's a YF2 recessive recessive pied... umm are you sure she's she?? hehehe. likes pinkish purplish to me..

 

And if you cross with the greywing. assuming that both birds aren't hiding any genes.. you'll get normal yellowface and whiteface skyblue or cobalt normal.... I think.. :offtopic:

She is a double factor pied I think from her wing patterns I can't see if she has an iris ring or not. I assume you are talking about the yellow pied in the picture.

 

Greywing is recessive so both birds need to carry the gene to get any grey wings.

 

If she is a double factor pied x normal you would get all single factor pieds.

 

If your girl is a green/yellow bird you will get all green birds unless she split to blue.

 

If youa re wanting more grey wings they only way is to ensure both carry the gene or to breed to grey wings together.

 

If course there are surprised in the gene pool the male could be carrying some sex-linked traits and any recessive traits they both have that come together.

this is an older picture of her, her cere is now brown like my other hens...so i hope so or he'll have some explaining to do, she has a very small patch of hmm closest colour i can think of would be like "seafoam green" on her lower belly.

***edit******** i forgot to mention she has 1 eye ring

Just checking. :offtopic: and if he's a male, which I'm hoping not, that would means that he has some sort of cancer? which would make a male cere turn brown.

 

but I'm sure it's a female.

 

Edit... after reading your edited post.. that would mean that Elly's right. she's double factor dom pied.

i hope so to being i will have multiple problems, being starskie is thinking shes female, and they've been...umm...dancing in ways that young children should watch...(Laughing out loud)

If it is a yellow face 2 know it is a blue bird and when you mate with another blue bird you will have blues no greens. YF2 is also dominant and depending on the other bird if it is YF or white it could produce double factor yellow face which = a white faced blue bird (don't ask (Laughing out loud) - that is genetics) and you will have single factor yf2.

 

As Cheeta said it it is a crusty brown it would be a female not a male :offtopic: in condition.
