This is Quin's family. All of the children are from the same parents.

Quin

 

Quin's younger sibling, just out of the box (the only one from the same clutch as Quin and the only one younger) My boyfriend says that she has some brown markings on her wings, but you can't see them in the photo. I haven't seen this one close up myself. Is it possible that she could be a lacewing? She has red eyes.

 

Also, siblings not pictured:

1 lutino (all yellow, red eyes)

3 Normal light greens

1 Normal dark green (like Mum)

 

So, what do you think of the genetics of that lot?

I think, which means I'll be wrong, that if they have brown markings and red eyes they are a fallow. Nerwen will be sure to correct me :(Laughing out loud):

You have a whole bunch of beautiful birds!! :ausb: as for the genetics......I'll leave that up to the experts!! :bluebudgie:

I think, which means I'll be wrong, that if they have brown markings and red eyes they are a fallow.

 

This is right :bluebudgie: But there is also Lacwings which are bird taht are almost lutino or albino with faint brown markings on the wing. Are you sure they are bown?

 

so we have:

1 lutino (all yellow, red eyes)

3 Normal light greens

1 Normal dark green (like Mum)

1 possiable lacewing (albino)

1 green(dark green or olive) Recessive pied

1 blue clearwing (greywing?)

1 blue reciessive pied

1 clearwing (greywing?).

 

wow what a mix up and all from normal looking parents. The joys of genetics, okay

Dad must be then:Blue normal split ino

Mum must be: Green normal slipt blue.

 

Either or both of them are slpit for the clearwing gene and recessive pied gene. This means the Quinn's sibling is sister and same with the lutino one. And if it is a lacewing then the dad nees to be slipt for cinnamin as well, if i remember that gene correctly.

Yes, it's some family alright, I was certainly impressed to see the variety of babies that pair produced! Thanks for the complements, but no credit to me, except for Quin, these birds belong to my Mum (but my sister would say they belong to her).

Both parents must be split for both recessive pied and clearwing (otherwise no recessive pieds or clearwings would show up). As for the lutino and albino, I think I've pretty much figured out how those genes work now I know they're sex-linked, so yes, the simplest explanation is that the Dad is split for ino (X-normal/X-ino) and the albino and lutino are both girls (X-ino/Y)

 

I'll try to get another photo of the albino. I'm not personally convinced yet about the brown on her wings.

 

But it is a pretty cool family isn't it

Very pretty family, and alot of different varation, that is definitely neat!

Pickles (above) has no black wing markings. Does that mean that she is a recessive pied and a clearwing?

Both parents must be split for both recessive pied and clearwing

Of cuase not sure what I was thinking with the either? I gues $ was just meaning these one are not sex-linked.

Perfect

 

Does that mean that she is a recessive pied and a clearwing?

Nope, many recessive pieds have clear wings. She is just lucky.

Wow!! That's a lot of different colours in one family!
