January 20, 200916 yr Everyone goes with Snow or snowflake and etc .. .Me i would called it Hmmmmm Chardonnay or something that means white in another language ... You can breed her and will get a % of Albino Hens babies I'm sorry to correct you Neat, but ......... If the cock is not split for ino, the mating will not produce any visual albinos. This is due to the ino gene being sex linked, in other words, linked to the X chromosome. The only way to get albino hens, is if the cock is split for ino, which will produce % of albino hens and cocks. However, in both cases, all "non-visual albino" cock chicks from the matings will be split for the ino gene. This link might help: http://www.budgieplace.com/gen_ino.html

January 21, 200916 yr Author What colour bird should I breed her with so I get some Albino's? Thanks Kirsty
January 21, 200916 yr Talking with one of Australia's most esteemed albino breeders on the weekend and he says the best pairing for an albino is a grey normal to reduce suffusion. Grey normal split to ino to produce your inos of course too would help. This breeder gets thousands for his birds and has a 2 year waiting list for his albinos.

January 21, 200916 yr Author Thanks guys, How do I know if a grey bird is split for ino? Please excuse my ignorance but what is ino? Thanks Kirsty
January 21, 200916 yr You can't tell by looking if the grey bird is split for ino, the only way you will be able to find that information out is by asking the person that bred the grey bird... if you don't know who bred the bird then the only real way of finding out is by breeding with him. For instance if you bred your albino to a normal grey and there were albino's you would know that your grey was split to ino... if you didn't get any you would know that the male offspring from the air would be /ino Edited January 21, 200916 yr by JimmyBanks
