hi everyone can anyone tell me what to expect from these two budgies

thanks cam s

 

Blue babies

maybe violets I'm not good with violets. they look violet to me rather than cobalt.

From the front the hen looks to be a SF violet opaline (or spangle) cobalt. Cock looks to be a SF violet cobalt normal (possibly split for opaline).

 

I would expect:

25% sky blue, 50% cobalt, 25% mauve

25% no violet, 50% SF violet, 25% DF violet factor

 

If the hen is opaline, all cocks will be split for it. If the cock is split for opaline, expect 50% opaline females, 50% normal females, 50% opaline males, 50% males split opaline.

 

If however the hen is spangle, then expect half the chicks to also be spangle.

 

I dont have a genetics calculator, so im just gonna take a stab at this for fun, might be wrong but here goes:

 

6.25% sky blue, 12.5% SF violet sky blue, 6.25% DF violet skyblue

12.5% cobalt, 25% SF violet cobalt, 12.5% DF violet cobalt

6.25% mauve, 12.5% SF violet mauve, 6.25% DF violet mauve

 

(Basing the above on the idea that the violet gene is a colour adding gene that is free floating, just like grey factor. I know some people believe that the violet gene is linked to either a dark factor or non-dark factor gene, but thats not how i personally see it)

If you look at the tail of the hen you will see she is not Spangle. She is Opaline.

 

Not sure if I can see this or not as the picture is a bit small. I am sure I am seeing grey throat spots. She has a full body colour.

 

So if that is the case I reckon the hen is an Opaline Full Body Coloured Greywing Cobalt or Violet.

I agree with RIP, on the part of the wings you the markings look grey. But going on what they are and not what they are carrying, Blue(violet) normals, that will change when hidden genes come out
