Hi. This year my spangled green cock has paired with my lutino hen. They have two babies, and I was wondering, what genes can the ino gene hide and which of the hidden genes will be seen in my babies? I have no idea what the parents of the lutino were, so I was wondering if you could tell me what genes could be hiding in that feathery little body of hers.

Thanks! :question:

Well a lot of different things really. The few things that she cannot hide are Texas Clearbody and Lacewing which are both on the same allele as Ino so in hens you can only have 1 of these genes present at the same time.

 

She could be masking spangle, normal, grey green, opaline, cinnamon - she could be split for blue....... you never know what might pop up.

Thanks nubbly5 thats really helpful.
