Posted February 13, 200718 yr Why must cinnamons be avoided with lutinos and albinos? What happens??? Is there a problem with the babies? Is it weird colours???

But can dilute the body colour and size of the birds. You can get a better results from crossing a cinnamon hen with a good grey cock. The resulting hens will hopefully have the feathering of the cinnamon but not the sex gene. These hens can then be mated to good lutino and albino cocks to give the feathering and size. Grey to albino and violet to lutino are good pairings for colour.
February 13, 200718 yr Hath was also meaning for a show side, if you end up with lacewings they are put under a different class from the luntino and albinos and may not be what you are after.
