I am a tad confused with outcome of one of my best nests of Lutinos.

 

The hen is visual Lutino masking Spangle and the cock is a visual Lutino. I was expecting a nest of Lutinos and maybe the odd Spangle ... instead I have a nest of 4 Albino chicks.

 

I'm not complaining, I have always wanted to breed Albinos BUT How did it happen?

 

Please enlighten me.

Both birds are split for blue meaning you have got the blue version of a lutino - an albino ;)

 

okay. So what are the chicks? Albino split Lutino? Or is it more complicated.

 

If I put one of the chicks to a grey normail or opaline what would I get?

no they are straight albino. Lutino is green series and a blue series bird can't be split for green

 

If you put the chicks to a grey bird you will get grey birds, males will be split for albino

they're not necessarily straight, some may still be masking spangle.

Your lutino's are either split blue or you've confused them with creamino's ;)
