okay, here is a few breeding pair's of mine that i would like some info on what the offspring will be

 

PAIR #1 ...Male = left ...female = right

PAIR #2 ... Yellow = male and the other yellowface is a female

PAIR #3 Male = left ...Female = right

 

What are the % chances of a possible offspring color on each pair?? all info is muchly appreciated

Hard to tell clearly from the photos, so there is some guesswork involved here.

 

Pair 1 looks to be a Single Factor Grey Cock to an Albino hen.

 

The offspring shold be something along these lines:

 

50% will be dominant pieds

50% will be normals

100% cocks will be split for albino

 

I cannot tell if the cock is SF or DF grey, so it might be possible to get some blue as well as greys from this pairing, it all depends on the cock.

 

 

The second pair look to be a Double Factor SPangle Cock and a Yellow face type 1 cobalt opaline hen

100% should be spangles

100% will be green, unless the cock is split for blue.

100% will be split for blue.

 

 

The third pair looks to be a Light Green Clearflight Pied Cock and Yellow Face type II Greywing hen

 

25% light green clearflight pieds /blue/greywing cocks

25% light green normals / blue/greywing cocks

25% light green clearflight pieds/blue/greywing hens

25% light green normals/blue/greywing hens

 

I not calculated if any birds carry the yellow face gene in these pairs as it will not matter as all birds will be green.

 

I have not taken into any cosniderations such as the males being split for opaline or cinnamon. You cannot tell visually.

Oh cool, im looking forward to the albino and the single factor grey cock's offspring's, theirs not 1 bird in my aviary that is the same color so its a bit of everything

PAIR 1: Dominant pied grey cock & albino hen

 

Assuming the grey is single factor and the albino is not masking any other mutations:

25% dominant pied grey

25% dominant pied blue

25% normal grey

25% normal blue

All males will be split for ino

Albinos often mask other mutations and both birds could be split for other mutations so these could affect the outcome

 

PAIR 2: Green series double factor spangle cock & Type 2 yellow face opaline cobalt hen.

 

All the chicks will be green spangles unless the cock is split for blue.

If he is split for blue then:

50% green spangle

25% blue spangle

25% yellow face blue spangle

All the males will be split for opaline.

If the cock bird is split for opaline 50% will be opaline spangle. If any other mutations appear they will be combined with the spangle

 

PAIR 3:

Dominant pied light green cock & T2 yellow face clearwing cobalt hen (her body colour is too strong for a greywing)

 

25% light green normal

25% dark green normal

25% dominant pied light green

25% dominant pied dark green

All chicks will be split for clearwing and 50% will mask yellow face

 

If the cock bird is split for blue:

12.5% light green normal

12.5% dark green normal

12.5% dominant pied light green

12.5% dominant pied dark green

6.25% sky blue normal

6.25% cobalt normal

6.25% yellow face sky blue

6.25% Yellow face cobalt

6.25% dominant pied sky blue

6.25% dominant pied cobalt

6.25% yellow face dominant pied sky blue

6.25% yellow face dominant pied cobalt

You will only get clearwing chicks if the cock is split for clearwing

Thank you, look forward to seeing the how the chicks turn out, once some of them hatch ill do a daily pictorial update, so we can see how the outcome was with the color's and mutation's you have provided

If you are colony breeding as your signature suggests then no predictions will be accurate because the parentage of the chicks will be doubtful

I just walked outside earlier to check my box's, and my Type 2 yellow face opaline cobalt hen has layed an egg with the double factor spangle outside the nest box guarding it....so im a happy camper :D:D:D:D:D:D

Yes that is true, both of the males of each pair are very dominant and never let other males go near the hen's, so it should be accurate enough with the genes,

That's only when you're watching.....

 

My prediction would be....surprises all round...... :hap:

Will be very interested in finding out what chicks you get... I once knew a man who was very dominant... his wife had a kid that looked like his best mate :hap: if it happens in humans good chance it could happen in budgies...

Rofl, well hopefully the chicks dont turn out like that hahah, well my type2 yellowface cobalt hen has had her 2nd egg today, and my double factor spangle(green series) is the father, so they should throw some nice youngens, hopefully some yellowface's
