Hi all I was wondering if I pair up my albino cock Zac with my new violet cin hen is it possible I could get some lacewing chicks?

I doubt it...you need a lacewing and a split lacewing in my experience at the very least. BUT we will see what the genetics buffs say.

I know it sounds like a silly question even to me but I was reading about them and it says that they are a result of an ino and cinnamin so I was just wondering is all, I would really like some but haven't some across many

Here is a good website it read about lacewing and the expections http://www.budgerigarassociation.com/baa_015.htm

I'll be in Perth in november can you hang on to them till then :hap:

Yes it is possible to breed a lacewing from an ino and a cinnamon but not in one generation. Also the genes have a very low crossover rate so it could take quite a while. From the ino mated to a cinnamon you would need to select a male chick which would be split to both cinnamon and ino but wouldn't show either mutation visably. When this young cock is bred there is a chance that there could be a lacewing among his daughters

YES...but there arent cheap birds as they are from top breeders.

Don't say that Kaz

I'm near you haha and you know how i love your birds

 

You've proved very valuable to the forum Neville, the amount of knowledge you have is amazing :hap:!

Thank you for the compliment Libby. It comes from being old! :hap:

It's not always age that gives you knowledge :hap:

Age gives you wisdom, because you've been there, seen that, know the outcome... it's commitment that gives you knowledge

You could be 10 and you'd know just as much if you wanted to learn it

thanks for that Neville I think I will just wait to get my hands on some instead

Totally agree with Libby on her comments to Neville...

 

I hangout and wait to read his replies

PLEASE SAY YOU WILL STAY :hap: :D
