He's like a cremino lacewing .....I would assume that since lacewing is a combo with ino then any lacewing babies you got would be hens, unless you bred with an ino hen .Could be totally wring though. I woud think that f you can't get a lacewing then the next best thing would be an albino?

Here are the expections and here is the site you can read for more information it is very interesting http://www.budgerigarassociation.com/baa_015.htm

 

LW cock x Ino Hen = ino cock & lacewing hens

Ino cock x Lacewing Hen = ino cocks and ino hens

LW cock x cinnamon hen = cinnamon cocks and LW hens

Cinnaman cock x LW hen = cinnamon cocks and cinnamon hens

LW hen x LW Cock = 100% LW cocks and LW hens

You could use an Albion hen is you wanted, but maybe it would be good to use a hen of the Blue series, maybe a nice type Cinnamon Blue hen. Usually Ino’s aren’t that big & Lacewing to Albion may produce smaller birds, depending on the type of each parent. If you want to retain the Yellow Face in your Lacewings stick with Blue series, which of course includes Albion. If you wanted some Green Lacewings you could use a Green hen & if it was Split to Blue get some of each colour. As I think it says in that good article that Elly recommended, it’s good to stick to Dark factor birds, probably to improve the colour of your chicks.
