Posted January 20, 201015 yr Hi I have got 2 Lutino's they laid 5 eggs but only hatched 2 they are now colouring up, one is a very bright Lutino and the other is an Albino. Does this mean that either mum or dad are split for Albino?? and if so which one Mum or Dad??

Does this mean that either mum or dad are split for Albino?? and if so which one Mum or Dad?? Yes, I means one or both of the parents is Split Blue. If this albino chick is a hen then it is the Dad which is split Blue. If it is a cock chick it means Both parents are split Blue.
January 20, 201015 yr As green is dominant wouldnt BOTH parents have to be split blue ? Ummmm, not sure! I was thinking automatically that albino cocks chuck albino hens but come to think of it with the green series dominance- you are right!
January 20, 201015 yr Author okay so what you have decided is that both are split for blue????? is this correct??
January 20, 201015 yr okay so what you have decided is that both are split for blue????? is this correct?? Yes!
January 20, 201015 yr the ino gene is sex linked, not the colour, so both parents have to be split blue to get an albino chick
January 20, 201015 yr Yep both parents MUST be split for blue as blue is straight recessive not sex linked recessive.
