examples of pics to show what might be expected would be nice

thanks

Can't help with mutations etc although I think I would have swapped pairs 1 and 3 to keep your colour clearer. I find with green to blue, I end up a muddy colour range in chicks. Just my opinion/ observation with my own pet types. (Not every chick but some).

yeah i would do what robyn has said next time round.

 

As for colours

 

pair 1, could be green normals and Opalines.

 

thats only a guess.

 

pair 2 who knows whats hidden there.

 

 

 

pair 3 same as number 2. could be something hidden.

Your pieds to me look recessive not dominant. Do they have iris rings?

 

Pair 3 are both opaline and the hen to me looks cinnamon.

the female has white iris on both eyes

 

the male has white iris on one side only

the white budgie is the same. has white iris on one side

 

hi robyn

 

is this what you meant as muddy colour or do you think i should be pairing my blue budgie in pair 3 with this one

MAUVE dom pied to green normal....................green is dominant .............expect green normals and green pieds ............unless the green is split blue The green has scalyface so I wouldnt be breeding him at all till hes well and sorted out

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pair 2

i think they are both Light green DF dominant pieds

p1_zpsc95528b8.jpg

 

They are dark green not light green .........DF to Df dom pieds if they are df will give you df dom pieds

 

Pair 3

i think its light green opaline spangle with blue/grey opaline spangle

p3_zpsaf27d0d6.jpg

 

opaline spangles in green unless the green is split blue ......you have a 25% chance of a double factor spangle BUT the male looks sick so I would breed him at all if I was you

 

As for colours

 

pair 1, could be green normals and Opalines.

 

 

where do you get that from ?

Just going off what my dominate pied green and grey Opaline achieved.

 

I wasn't saying I was a 100% sure.

Hi, by muddy I meant the colours are a washy sort of colour not blue, not green, they don't have clear colours. Some are quite pretty but you just don't know what they will be like. The hen in above picture I don't know her mutation I see spangle, cinnamon, y.face? maybe a dilute of some sort could be blue in her parents? Do you know what they were?
