Fred the Dad - Sky Spangle (I don't know what his hidden genetics are if he has any!!!??!) My other budgies seem to have hidden extras!

 

 

 

Martha the Mum - I've been told she is an Opaline perhaps cobalt but she is a real dirty purple colour - perhaps grey mauve?. I took a few more photos so perhaps that will help.

 

 

 

 

She looks such a clean mauve here - shame the violet colourings don't photograph true to colour!

Well they will all be blue series, whether it be sky, cobalt or violet, possibly even grey as Im not really sure of her colour either. All will be normals or spangles and some of the cocks will be split opaline. The are very pretty and I look forward to seeing their results

With males we usually assume they will be carrying opaline and cinnamon ........either or both. Add that to the mix in case Your hen looks mauve to me.

All will be split, the hen only has one X chromosome to give to her sons which will have the Opaline gene on it.

The chicks will all be cobalt, half of them will be spangle and the cocks will be split opaline. If the cock bird (sire) is split cinnamon you may get some cinnamon cobalt hens and/or cinnamon spangle cobalt hens, if he is split opaline you will get opaline and opaline spangle cocks and hens (as well as normal spangle and just normal cocks and hens).

Thank you Nerwen

Sky blue spangle male mated to an opaline violet mauve.

If neither bird was split for anything (which is unlikely) & assuming that the violet is single factor. The result would be:

25% cobalt normal

25% violet cobalt normal

25% cobalt spangle

25% violet cobalt spangle

All the males will be split for opaline.

 

 

If the cock bird happened to be split for opaline the result would be:

 

12.5% cobalt normal

12.5% cobalt opaline - both sexes

12.5% violet cobalt normal

12.5% violet cobalt opaline

12.5% cobalt spangle

12.5% cobalt opaline spangle

12.5% violet cobalt spangle

 

12.5% violet cobalt opaline spangle
