Posted April 21, 200718 yr Chico and Kiky are mating and I was wondering if soemone could do the calculation thing?? Chico, the father is a recessive pied light green cock and kiky, the mother an olive green recessive pied hen... Chico Kiky and Chico Edited April 22, 200718 yr by Marlony
April 21, 200718 yr You will get 100% recessive pieds since this gene is recessive. You will have 100% yellow based budgies unless BOTH parts are split for the blue gene. There are always surprises with sex-linked genes so if the father is carrying an opaline, ino or other sex linked genes they may come out in the hens he has. I know we have the coloration determine on Kiki, right now I believe possible dark green but not olive. Either way they will be gorgeous babies. . I did add more to your other post about their mutations. Edited April 21, 200718 yr by Elly
April 21, 200718 yr Author so will the babies look more like kiky or chico?? Is there any way to tell?
April 21, 200718 yr They will be a mixture since they are both pied you never know how the pied markings will appear some have a lot and some don't , some may have a dark factors and some may not. The surprise will be fun to see if you get any blues to see if they are both split or if the male has any hidden sex-linked genes .
April 22, 200718 yr Author okay, thanks guys. I was thinking of putting together cherry and Buddy in half a year. I know thats long but Im just so excited what the babies will look like. Father: Buddy yellowface type 2 cobalt blue opaline spangle Mother: cherry yellowface type 2 skyblue opaline cinnamonwing can someone please do the percentage thing. *ill probably never learn it* Edited April 22, 200718 yr by Marlony
April 23, 200718 yr I don't do % myself but I can tell you different out comes of the chicks. All the babies will be blue since this is a recessive gene. 50% spangle & 50% normal babies All the babies will have a yellowface but if you get a white faced baby it would be considered a double factor yellow face The male budgies will be split to cinnamon but you won't have any visual cinnamons unless the male is split for this gene and then all the babies cinnamons will be hens. You will have 100% opaline babies (male and females) Then there is always surprises in the nest from any sex-linked genes that the male could be split for that you don't know about such as ino etc..

April 25, 200718 yr BOYS: 6.25% Cobalt Opaline split Cinnamon 6.25% Skyblue Opaline split Cinnamon 12.5% YF Cobalt Opaline split Cinnamon 12.5% YF Skyblue Opaline split Cinnamon 6.25% DF YF Cobalt Opaline split Cinnamon 6.25% DF YF Skyblue Opaline split Cinnamon 6.25% Cobalt Opaline Spangle split Cinnamon 6.25% Skyblue Opaline Spangle split Cinnamon 12.5% YF Cobalt Opaline Spangle split Cinnamon 12.5% YF Skyblue Opaline Spangle split Cinnamon 6.25% DF YF Cobalt Opaline Spangle split Cinnamon 6.25% DF YF Skyblue Opaline Spangle split Cinnamon HENS, exactly the same but not split cinnamon. DF YF = double factor yellow face, these chicks will appear like normal white faced blues but all their chicks will carry the YF gene. Edited April 25, 200718 yr by ellulah
April 25, 200718 yr okay, thanks guys. I was thinking of putting together cherry and Buddy in half a year. I know thats long but Im just so excited what the babies will look like. Father: Buddy yellowface type 2 cobalt blue opaline spangle Mother: cherry yellowface type 2 skyblue opaline cinnamonwing can someone please do the percentage thing. *ill probably never learn it* Considering both those budgies you are talking about still have baby bars down to the cere, half a year will still make them to young to breed. Suggest one year later. Edited April 25, 200718 yr by Kaz
April 25, 200718 yr How old are chico and Kiky? They both look like barheads in that picture as well. Feathers.
