I paired DF dominant Green Cock & Dilute Blue Hen... I thought their Chicks will be Dilute Green Or Greywing Green but their Chicks are Normal Green WHY?

Dilute or Greywing are both recessive genes if your cock was not split for either of these genes that would mean all your babies would be normal.

 

You say grey in your mutation of outcomes but neither of your birds are carrying the grey gene. You said your cock was green not a grey green. A bird needs to carry the grey gene to pass it off to it's off spring, grey is a dominant gene over blue (so a blue bird is grey visibly) and a green bird you can see it through their color, cheek spots and tail coloring.

 

You say grey wing both birds would need to be split for this gene to have babies of this mutation.

 

DF dominant Green Cock & Dilute Blue Hen - if this is the mutation of your birds this would have been your outcome

 

100% Single Factor Domanant Pieds (since you stated your bird was a double factor) BUT you said you got normal green did you get normal greens birds or did you get green dominant pieds?

 

100% Greens UNLESS your cock is split for blue then it would be a 25% chance of blue

 

Only dilutes if the cock was split for dilute

agree with Elly

Tanks Elly

 

I thought that Dilute is a kind of Greywing budgie.

 

Cock isn't is split for blue, now what do you think about next breeding? Could i have new mutation of chicks?

Honestly, using the same cock and the same hen you have a 25% chance of anything new happening.

What are you looking for in mutations?

I wanna have greywing Green and Dilute Green in breeding... how can breed these mutations?

You need to know the difference between the 2 first.

 

Both genes are recessive so if you want the gene you have to make sure either both parents are dilutes or greywing OR both of them are split for dilute or greywing

 

Dilute is when the birds body color is 80% washed out with very light markings on the head and back.

 

Greywing there are 2 types. There is a Greywing where the body is washed out to about a 50% lighter color and the wing markings are grey on the wings and head. Then there is the Full Body Greywing where the wings are grey but the body is of normal color (bright).

 

You also have Clearwings where the body is bright and there are no markings on the wings.
