Hi guys I've just signed up, and was reading this post. I've had to do do some research on cream ino's because one popped up (out)? in my breeding boxes. It's mother was a lutino and it's father was a yellow and green pied. It's sibling is very unusual as well.

I have to admit there is not alot of information about creamino's . When I've got a bit of extra time I will grab some photos and post them on line.

A creamino is a yellow face albino, they are very beautiful

Hi Tazzie's mum.

Your yellow and green pied cock must be split to ino. Since the mother is also an ino, then your creamino chick can be either a boy or a girl. (If the mom weren't an ino, the choice would be limited to just girl, since ino is a sex-linked gene.)

 

All the information about inos, whether lutinos or albinos, can also be applied to creaminos. But you would also want to learn a little bit about the yellowface gene, which if you search this site, you can find a lot.

 

In a nutshell, though, in order for two green series birds to produce any offspring that aren't green, they both have to be split for a non-green allelomorph. (In other words, green split to blue or green split to one of the yellowface genes.)

 

Since you've gotten a yellowface offspring, you know that one of the parents is green/yellowface. The other one then must be either green/yellowface, or green/blue.

 

 

If it mattered to you to find out what each parent was split to, you would need to breed them both to blue series birds, and then 50% of those offspring would be visual for the green bird's hidden gene.
