Posted January 22, 200619 yr The first 2 hatched while I was still in hospital, the 3rd hatched 20-1-2006. Daddy: Mummy with babies: Okay, this is the perfect test - what do you think the babies will be? I'll keep you updated with pictures so watch this post.
January 22, 200619 yr well I can see now two have the ino gene. If dad isn't split blue then they will be lutinos. But STUNNING pictures and I can't wait to see more. Edited January 22, 200619 yr by Nerwen
January 23, 200619 yr Author Dad is dominant pied & possible opaline. His parents were: mum: white faced normal gray with a few yellow tail feathers (does this mean split to blue?) & his dad: a massive lutino (about 28+ cm). I don't know her parentage but she has previously pred with a Lutino & recessive pieds & produced: Recessive Pied (Junior Boss), Normal Green (Boris), Albino & Lutino. Yeah, the younger 2 look to have red eyes. The mummy is a lovely bird, she is not tame but she doesn't mind me disturbing her to look at the babies & to old them - she always supervises. If she is sitting on eggs, she will quite happily take additional eggs (the larger 3 eggs in the picture are the Kakariki eggs).
January 24, 200619 yr Author So that is one of Boris's brother's? Cute Yes he is opaline. No, he's not related to Boris. These genetics are hard to follow but at least with Pass' help I can now understand wing patterns.
January 24, 200619 yr No, he's not related to Boris. But you just said his mum was Boris's mum that makes them half borthers. Unless I got the mum bit muddled up the first time.
January 25, 200619 yr Author No, he's not related to Boris. But you just said his mum was Boris's mum that makes them half borthers. Unless I got the mum bit muddled up the first time. His mate is Boris' mum. His parents were: mum: white faced normal gray with a few yellow tail feathers (does this mean split to blue?) & his dad: a massive lutino (about 28+ cm).
January 25, 200619 yr oh I get it now :budgiedance: I tookt he she in the next bit to still mean his mum :ausb: Understand now.
January 25, 200619 yr I have taken him to be a dominant Pied Opaline and her t be an Albion (blue lutino) The outcome should be Male Pieds and Female Opaline. No ino's ...interesting.... I'll keep an eye on this..:budgiedance:
January 25, 200619 yr Yeah but you were told he was split for lutino from his dad so if he does have a blue gene they could be white if not then they are yellow.
January 28, 200619 yr :bluebudgie: they all look great. Is there a chance some of the other eggs will hatch still?
January 28, 200619 yr Well you could be right Nerwen.. I see an ino. "Lutino" So much for genetics...what is the through back? :bluebudgie:
January 28, 200619 yr Author One egg had hatched the other day but the baby died. I don't think the others will hatch they look clear. I held a 'darker' one up to the sun but it was clear. I am keeping them in there for the babies to 'cuddle'. The third baby is also going to be a Lutino, can't see in these pictures but there is a very faint yellow in the tips of the pins coming out. This is exciting, I reckon the pied baby will look like his dad I just don't know if it'll be dominant or recessive.
January 28, 200619 yr :(Laughing out loud): He will be Dominant just like his dad. So much for genetics...what is the through back? :bluebudgie: it still works a ino gene from either parent and the green gene from dad. If the bub got an ino gene from dad as well as mom then it will be a boy.
January 28, 200619 yr Author :(Laughing out loud): He will be Dominant just like his dad. Good!! as daddy budgie is the only dominant I have! :hap:
