hi everyone, i have recently had some new babies come out of the nest box and was wondering because the father is opaline and mother is cinnamon does that mean that all females will be visually opaline and all males will not be?( as they will be split for)

because opaline is linked to the x chromasome this means that females can only be visually opaline and males can be split, correct?

 

the parents are

 

......male sky blue opaline spangle x female cinnamon GF violet

 

and the babies are

 

........one normal sky blue,2 GF violet normal and a sky blue spangle

 

all should be split for cinnamon and opaline, am i right?

so does this mean they are all males?

look forward to your responses

They would all be males split cinnamon + opaline.

thanks dean

so any females would be opanline?

and in my other pair

sky blue rec pied X yf violet opaline

males would be split opaline and pied???(correct me if im wrong) and females would be visual opaline

if the first bird listed is the male then yes the males will be split for Opaline but all chicks will be split rec pied as that is not a sex linked gene so either gender can carry it.
