Hi everyone....

 

I am reading over and over again about the genetics and i just can't grasp it....

I am trying to produce Mauve Babies - which i understand are the darkest blue ....

Am I better off having a colbalt and a skyblue or another colbalt to make it Darker blue or will I just keep getting Colbalts .... All advice is highly appreciated but please but it in kindy terms ...

 

thank you so very much ......

*neat goes back to reading more :book:

To breed Mauves you need to pair cobalt to cobalt.

 

This will give 50% Cobalt, 25% Sky Blue and 25% Mauve.

As Daz stated a cobalt to cobalt pairing will work well for you.

 

It takes 2 dark factors (one from each parent) to produce a mauve (double dark factor), however the sky has no dark factors, cobalts have 1 dark factor and mauve has 2 dark factors. Your only options would be a cobalt/cobalt (25% mauves), cobalt/mauve (50% mauve) or mauve/mauve (100% mauve) pairings. No sky pairings can produce mauves.

 

Hope that helps.

UNREAL !!!

 

*Neat needs to go shopping for a colbalt / violet Male .....

Hi Neat,

 

Some people have a lateral thinking brain and others don't. Some people 'get' rubiks cubes, others have no hope. So it is with genetics. My best advice is to do what you have done and just ask how to get thre result you want.

 

You could look at all the boxes and the letters in them and just get more and more confused. It's not worth the brain strain! D

Thanks Feathers, I just couldn't do it ( Bad head trauma in 2000) since then memory and etc are **** .....

 

But here is what this dude said in the uk

 

breeding violets -- you require one visual violet and one sky blue this pairing will breed you four colours

25% will be sky blue

25% cobalt

25% skyblue sf

25% cobalt sf which are visual violets

 

the single factor sky blues will be a deeper colour then a normal skyblue.

 

using a cobalt to a visual violet will breed you the same colourd above and also mauves.

 

most violets are bred by accident in birdrooms that carry dark factor birds,i have one this year bred out of a dark green violet cock that i had no idea was a violet.

 

 

I will just go with the flow i think
