okay we all know how hopless i am at genetics so i thought i would ask for some expert advice

 

I went budgie shop hopping yeasterday and with my b'day coming up am wanting to get myself a little pressie

I have found a female Blue series, Fallow or Lacewing (i can't tell which it is - but it looks like Kaz's lacewing to me ) and she has a green ring (which was, according to the breeder, hard to read) and appariantly a '06'. I will go down this afternoon and pick her up.... unless i find she is actually an old bird :budgiedance:

 

Would she be good in a cabnet with BG (my grey spangle)

 

If the hen is a lacewing, what would she produce with a Grey Spangle cock??

If she is a fallow, what would she produce with a Grey Spangle cock??

 

Thanks so much,

 

Liv

Green ring is last years...07. As far as I know you have to find them splits to produce what they are.

Hmmm... is there any way of telling a split ???

More likey Males will be Grey wings / split to either FALLOW OR LACE WING which ever one it is ...

 

Better to Find a Good Cock .....hehe Sorry childish I know , A Male Fallow Lace wing etc and breed with a different mutation Hen ..... As it is sexlinked so the Males will "Carry the Gene" Yes some FALLOWS are Sex link heheheh

thanks for that advice Neat So it's the boys that have the gene..... There is a yellow series bird there too... perhaps that one is a male. i saw so many birds yesterday that i can't remember. I hope to bring home one or two nice show types today

 

hehehe - I tend to giggle at some things said here in relation to the 'male' budgies - some things really crack me up :budgiedance: - totally immature, but i can't help it... hehehehe

With Sexlink Mutations the Female will either BE IT or NOT BE IT where as the MALE will EITHER BE IT or BE SPLIT FROM IT ..... I am a child at heart (Laughing out loud) ..... if you are wanting to breed Lace wings then try and get a Male one being split i don not think you can tell visually you'll need the BUDGIE TREE for that - But if you can get a breeder that KNOWS it is spilt and throw him over the one mentioned in the Post ( sorry throw is the horsey chik in me LMAO ) Breed him with her ..... OH SO CONFUSING ....

I have a fallow cock and a fallow hen and I am breeding both to other mutations in the hopes they both have clutches and I can then cross THEIR clutches with each other down the track, being that both clutches will be split to fallow. (That is my understanding anyway :hap:?)

Do you know someone that actually breeds fallows Liv? Mine have been pot luck buys from a bird dealer I visit regularly and the only guy who breeds down south apparently hasnt had any luck for the last 2 years (so I have been told).

Yes cross the clutches that is what am hoping for

I don't know if the birds are fallow or Lacewing. I haven't picked them up yet. I hope to head down on wednesday and grab them... I can ask them if they breed fallows while i am there and let you know
