Posted July 2, 200916 yr Snowy: white recessive pied, pure white, black eyes (with a tiny red circle in the middle - he may be part albino) Strawberry: albino, pure white, red eyes Questions: Would the chicks all be white? What colour would their eyes be? Is there the possibility of other colour mutations? Thanks for your help!
July 2, 200916 yr Photos would help greatly here... and we need to know who is male and who is female as the albino gene is sex linked and the outcomes are very different depending on who is albino. and the Recessive pied with the red glint in the eye... you say is pure white... no markings???

What colour would their eyes be? Is there the possibility of other colour mutations? Thanks for your help! :rofl: Birds are not part albino they either carry the gene or they don't . It is impossible to tell if a male is carrying the ino gene. Recessive pieds are not all white, is that what you are saying? They have patches of blue between their legs and the marks on their wings are splotched around. If your bird is all white and he has red eyes he would also be an ino or he could be a Dark Eyed Clear if his eyes look plum. Does this bird have visible iris rings? Like suggested, please take a picture of Snowy without a flash in natural daylight and a close up of the cere and eye if possible. In our FAQ we have a great mutation section also to review.

Sorry about that, she is actually a Dark Eyed Clear. I've recently discovered that they are both in fact female, so I obviously can't breed them But thanks for all your help!

July 3, 200916 yr Aww that's a shame. keep the best looker and look for another suitable male for her
July 3, 200916 yr If you want to get Ino's though make sure the male is either an ino or is split to ino (an you won't know this one unless you know his family tree) Edited July 3, 200916 yr by Elly
