Breeding To Produce Violets From Greens

hi all,

 

question for you.

 

Was speaking to a breeder during the week who produces Violets from greens, anyone else done this????

He explained how you can tell and etc that a green is carring the violet and how it will produce it so, I am up for this challange, next set of breeding .......

Violet is an added factor and if the bird is a green split to blue bred with another blue or another green split to blue you can get a visual blue violet is that what you are meaning? Explain more what he had to say :D....are you talking about getting Green Violets or Blue Violets.

A violet green is a bird that looks olive. My Radar is a violet green and a bird I sold to Libby is a violet green. These are birds from violet parents and the chick startts out grey in the nest and becomes green with a moult. As an adult it looks olive green but it is a violet green. From these birds you will get violets.
