October 11, 200915 yr Oh alright then seeing as you've done the objectionable Yellow Face part I would add that seeing that Clearwing is dominant over Dilute and one of the chicks is a Dilute then the Clearwing cock would have to be split Dilute .... and the Clearwing chicks would also have to be split Dilute ... Now for colours .... Cock is Olive (ie. Cobalt x Green) Hen is Sky Blue (split Violet) Chick 1 is Cobalt Violet Chick 2 is Sky Cobalt Chick 3 is Green Violet Chick 4 is DF Cobalt Yes, it should be obvious by now that I do not cheat and consult the various genetics tables or books but rely on my pea brain for this Edited October 11, 200915 yr by KAZ
October 12, 200915 yr Good going you guys! Anyone else what to give this a whirl.......? meaning i got it wrong lol knew i would as long as i didnt stuff up the yf part im all happy as id be kicking myself if i did since thats mainly what i breed pet type :fingerscrossed: and i didnt refer to books either renee just my brain trying to be active nubbly how close was i should i try again ???
October 12, 200915 yr Clearwing Olive Cock is split Dilute and split blue Normal Dilute Blue Hen is masking yf YF2 Violet Clearwing Hen YF2 Blue Dilute Cock Dark Green Clearwing Hen YF2 Cobalt Clearwing Hen
October 12, 200915 yr Author Pretty close there GB. You can have another go at it if you want and maybe some other people would like to have a bash too. If anyone else who is reading this and LIKES these little quizzes, if you don't have a go and it turns out that there are just 2 or 3 of us doing them then there is little point posting up other quizzes. So if you want to see us keep posting little challenges like this then at least have something of a bash at it - even if it means you have to grab that old budgie genetics book out or do a bit of web referencing. Personally I love these sorts of little challenges so i thought maybe others would like them too - thanks to renee and GB who had a bash. I'll post up results in a couple of days.

You should keep doing them even if only a few people get involved ... especially if you enjoy them! I'm sure the fact that GB and me don't mind getting it wrong and learning from our mistakes helps others who don't want to appear ignorant or overly reliant on the genetics guide Edited October 12, 200915 yr by renee

October 13, 200915 yr okay another little quiz. Don't be scared, just have a go at it. Tell me what the parents and chicks could be split for or masking. Parents: Clearwing Olive Cock Normal Dilute Blue Hen YF2 Violet Clearwing Hen YF2 Blue Dilute Cock Dark Green Clearwing Hen YF2 Cobalt Clearwing Hen cock clearwing olive carring violet hen normal dilute blue df yface carring violet yf violet clearwing yf blue dilute/clearwing dark green clearwing type 1 yf yf colbalt clearwing but not sure on the others been split for dilute but i think they are this caused great discusion between John and I
October 13, 200915 yr okay another little quiz. Don't be scared, just have a go at it. Tell me what the parents and chicks could be split for or masking. Parents: Clearwing Olive Cock split dilute and blue (although technically it would be split for the YF2 blue mutation specifically. Since chicks are YF2 it cant come from the hen as you can only mask YF2 via green birds, although the hen could be DF YF1 but the chicks are not all YF and they are in fact YF2 so its from the cock) Normal Dilute Blue Hen could be a sky blue or cobalt as mathematically even a cobalt could produce a clutch full of cobalts/dark greens (as opposed to mauves/olives), although a sky blue can paired to this cock could only produce cobalts/dark greens. I assume because the first chick is only referred to as a violet that it is a visual violet (1 violet factor + 1 dark factor IE SF violet cobalt) therefore it seems more likely this hen is a normal dilute sky blue. Since violet appears in the chicks, it is easiest to assume it is carried by the olive cock, being lost visually in the dark olive colouration. However a dilute blue hen could easily be carrying violet without anyone realising, especially a SF violet dilute sky blue. Violet could be from either parent, as I have a YF2 opaline sky blue cock and a LIGHT grey opaline hen that produced a sky blue violet and I wasnt aware either parent carried violet visually (not a cobalt - parents only ever produced light greys and sky blues). YF2 Violet Clearwing Hen split dilute (as above, assume you mean visual violet as in SF violet cobalt so the hen is carrying 1 dark factor) YF2 Blue Dilute Cock assume this is cobalt dilute Dark Green Clearwing Hen split dilute YF2 Cobalt Clearwing Hen split dilute Theres my two cents without reading anyone elses attempts (now to go see what i goofed up on lol)
October 14, 200915 yr Author I LOVE you guys!!!! Nice to see you about Fran71 (and John of course). I hope you enjoyed this little challenge. So okay now I think it's time for me to go through the results as I saw them (and that's not to say that I'm right also). Clearwing Olive Cock - split for dilute, possibly carrying violet Normal Dilute Blue Hen - double factor YF, possibly carrying violet okay, going on the current theory that YF is NOT masked by green but that green in fact gives you a split for YF AND that ALL blue chicks show YF the assumption is made that the hen MUST be double factor YF2 which shows as a normal white face. IF the cock was split for YF2 then you would have to assume that all the blue chicks would actually show as white faces as they would get one YF2 gene from mum and one YF2 gene from dad. The only other option would be one YF2 gene from mum and one green gene from dad presenting as a green split for YF2. And THIS is where I've cocked it up and I'll tell you why.......... my assumption was that the prominent YF in Australia is the YF2 AND I know of people who have white faced double factor YF birds that breed only YF's so my assumption (being now so very obviously wrong) was that it was the YF2 in double factor that produces a white faced bird. So I need to change the chicks to YF1 AND we in Australia need to undersatnd that it might well be YF1 that is more prominent than YF2. At least one of the parents is carrying violet. Dean is absolutley correct that violet could remain undetected in both olive birds AND dilute birds so it may be impossible to determine which parent is carrying violet without further test mating to known non-violet partners. Also yes Dean (violet I assumed would be visual violet so cobalt and violet). So mum would be skyblue considering all chick have single dark factor. YF2 Violet Clearwing Hen - split for dilute. Dad donates clearwing gene mum only has dilute genes to donate in this series. YF2 Blue Dilute Cock - possibly carrying violet. Dark Green Clearwing Hen - split for dilute. YF2 Cobalt Clearwing Hen - split for dilute. Anyway, that's it for my little quizzes for a bit.
October 14, 200915 yr so i was wrong in all aspects dean your a smarty pants :bliss: here for you :laughter: i should have known the yf bit some breeder of yf im going to be they are good nubbly mabe dean you could give us a few we should start with basic ones for the silly people like me :laughter: and have memory lose its great to try get the brain functioning and we can look back here if we want to try our hand at breeding any of the mutations that have been quizzed on :sadsorry: as a quick and easy reference of what we may get
