I have a presumed albino female who came from a clutch of 6 - 2 others were albino, 1 was a greywing, 1 was a normal skyblue and the last was a yf2 skyblue. Another clutch produced a yf2 albino (creamino).

 

I'll attach a picture of the parents for you, but my question is this: Is this one particular "albino" actually a lacewing?

 

I have had a hard time getting pictures that show her very very light brown markings, so excuse the quality of pictures. Flash completely washes them out, but they ARE there... and her albino sisters are totally different, being all white. A friend of mine is the breeder and owns the parents but I scooped up the whole clutch when I realized they may be carrying the lacewing gene.

 

This bird was hatched in January, and has been through one molt. If she IS lacewing, do you think she'll darken up after a few more molts? If not a lacewing, what other mutation that you know of would cause this suffusion of brown horizontal markings that are not apparent on her sisters?

 

Thanks in advance for any thoughts!!

 

 

 

 

 

Lucy's Parents. I'm guessing if dad isn't split Lacewing, he's split Ino AND Cinnamon?
