If your male is split for ino you will get

Males:

50% Ino

50% Normal Females:

50% Ino

50% Normal

 

If your male is not split for ino all your babies will be normal

If your male is split for ino you will get

Males:

50% Ino

50% Normal Females:

50% Ino

50% Normal

 

If your male is not split for ino all your babies will be normal

 

 

I am having a moment does normal mean normal Blue?

The same as Dad?

You may get some pieds like dad -- they could be different shades of blue depending on dark factors and if dad is a violet pied. You may also get normals as in not pied in different shades of blue. When you use an albino -- you can get some surprises -- and there are other genes that you may not be aware of that may come out in the babies. Even though you may have an idea of what to expect.. there are lots of possibilities -- you wouldn't get any greens though. Male babies will be split for (carrying the gene for) -ino.

thanks Hurdy I wasn't thinking about the rest of the mutation's I focused on the ino question . Gotta love this site everyone gets together and get it done

thanks guys another silly question how long before we should see an egg?

 

 

i am still trying to get over the excitement of what is happening

If they just began mating, in about 10 days you should see the first egg. They are laid on an every-other-day schedule, and the first egg should hatch 18 days after it's appearance in the nest box.
