hi all just wondering

if i was to get a df spangled albino how would i tell

or couldnt i ??????????????

would its eyes be red or would they be black ????

cheers

gb

The albino would mask all the DF spangle including the eyes. you wouldn't know untill you breed her to a normal cock and only produce spangle chicks.

okay thank you live very much

okay so if i breed a albino masking df spangle

would it be more inclined to have suffusion

 

if i breed two cin grey spangles

and got a df spangle in white masking cinnamon

then bred the

cin df spangle hen to a albino cock

resulting in spangled hens and spangled cocks split albino

then put the spangled cock split albino to a albino hen masking spangle and cinnamon

what are my chances of breeding a df spangled grey cinnamon bird masked by albino ...anyone

I doubt there would be more suffusion in an albino masking DF spangle. Albino removes body colour to nil (in most cases) and DF spangle reduces body colour to close to nil. Putting the albino gene on top of an already diluted body colour you would assume the albino to have less chance of suffusion if it were masking DF spangle. Only breeding will tell.

 

Well 50% chance of Cinnamon Ino (Lacewings........?) - 25% cocks & 25% hens. Of which there is a 25% of them being DF spangle on top of that.

okay so i would get lacewings from that breeding ?

m i thought they were diffrent allies

albino is dominent over lacewing but cinnamon is dominant over ino and lacewing is dom over cin i thought :rofl:

so it wouldnt work then to breed a df spangle albino in cinnamon

but mabe in normal with out the cinnamon

just when i tossed the idea to someone they seemed to think the df spangle would give the albino a suffused look more so then it would cover any

I don't understand your reasoning, I believe Albino is a sex linked variety, therefore the hens are not split for anything and are not marsking anything they are just Albino hens.

yes sex linked but they still mask what ever variety they are breed from

eg

df cobalt dom pied hen with albino cock masking lets say masking skyblue opaline /cinnamon

the out come for this pairing could be

 

all chicks will be domanant pied

all hens will be opaline

but some hens could be cinnamon opalines

cocks could be normals or albinos

all cocks will be split albino and 25 percent chance / to opaline and same with the possablity of being split to cinnamon 25 percent chance

 

chicks could be sky cobalt or if violet modifier is in their inheritance you could get violet or sky violet chicks

 

the thing im trying to work out to do is breed two albinos from different lines in grey

both masking df spangle

and Opaline a hen and a cock

then breeding these to together to get

100 percent albino masking df spangle opaline chicks

why cause i can

and as i think they would be so very white and pretty

its just to breed them

i got to work out my best chance

but thats where im not to good at things

my mind fails me :rofl:

 

so i thought id cheat and ask you guys

I was about to say why are you so intent on having DF Spangle Albino's but you just answered that with 'Cos I Can' :rofl:

 

All I'd be careful about is not letting this side project (if you consider this the side project) slow down your progress as far as breeding good show birds is concerned. Which one is your priority, breeding good show budgies, or breeding Albinos masking DF Spangle?

thanks for your concern jimmy banks but

im into breeding birds all round the table

im still intent on breeding nice pets for people of varying colors and mutations

as i really love being able to sell people beautiful healthy birds at half or even 1 third of the price you would pay in pet store

 

as for showing my birds are few years from any shows

although i have breed some very useful chicks last round

im breeding hens this year for myself and next so showing a fare way off

 

besides if i can work on breeding albino masking df spangle opaline then i may have a chance at getting a good big board albino with nice feather and no suffusion :rofl: what so ever

 

i am very serious when it comes to my dream of show birds and breeding winners and nice birds with quality

 

but im very happy to take the long slow road to success rather than a few fry pan chicks so to speak
