Is that possible to get this many different types out of the same parents?

I'm really starting to confuse myself here.

Creamino was the first thing I thought too. Please keep in mind that I am no expert though :D

Well she has faint wing markings - yellowish/white with the shiney white egde on the end.

Does this help?

It is possible as you don't know what each parent may be 'split' to. Were these babies bred in a breeding cage? Occassionally you may get another bird fathering one or more of the children too, especialy if they are colony bred.

They were only in the breeding cage and one of the other babies is a ressesive pied so issumed they were both split for that. What is going on here?

You have a lovely creamino baby also known as a yellow face albino. If a parent is split for ino these babies can pop up. It's normal for these inos to occur as a nice little surprise. :)

Thanks.

 

So now i have a new question:

 

How can i get:

Female Cremino

Female Ressesive Pied

Female Normal Cobalt

Male Normal Cobalt

Male Yellowface 2 Cobalt

Male Yellowface 1 Cobalt

 

Is this possible or did Ricki (mum) do 'it' with someone through the bars?

Thanks.

Your creamino and recessive are from what is called recessive genes.......which in layman terms means like a "throwback" to heredity in the gene pool of Mums and Dads.

Your parents are visually carrying yellowface and blues...which is where you get the

Female Normal Cobalt

Male Normal Cobalt

Male Yellowface 2 Cobalt

Male Yellowface 1 Cobalt

and in their hidden gene pool they are carrying the recessive pied gene and ino gene. As you have a creamino...that is a yellowface albino....so that comes from the visual yellowface gene and the hidden ino gene.

Hope I helped. :)

Thanks for your help, I have been breeding budgies for about 10 years and I still don't get genetics. Because i didn't believe one set of parents could have that many babies of different varieties I chose not to believe the youngest girl was a cremino, I thought there had to be something else she could be.

Thanks Again Bubbles
