Okay, well Isis here is a yellowface type 2 dilute grey

 

Arkady is a yellowface type 2 skyblue

 

Saffron is a dark-eyed clear:

 

And Izzy is a normal sky blue

 

In about a year I plan to breed Isis with Arkady or Izzy. (I think Izzy)

And I worked out that they would produce babies of these colours:

Dilute blue,

dilute grey,

normal blue,

normal, grey,

yellowface type 2 blue,

yellowface type 2 grey,

yellowface type 2 blue dilute,

yellowface type 2 grey dilute.

 

What do you think?

okay here are my guesses.

 

The first one, is not grey? Did you mean to put a different picture?

 

Does Isis have red eyes, in the picture it doesn't look like it

If red eye - Lutino or a Creamino (still learning to identify these 2 correctly) if not then a Dark Eyed Clear

 

Saffron is a dark-eyed clear: -I agree as long as she doesn't have red eyes

 

Arkady is a yellowface type 2 skyblue - I agree

 

And Izzy is a normal sky blue - I agree

 

As for babies, I am going to wait an learn too.

On my monitor Isis looks yellow and grey....not all yellow, so Quote "Okay, well Isis here is a yellowface type 2 dilute grey " sounds right enough to me.

A bettter shot of her would help with that, but it sound about right, I just question the dilute bit.

 

The others sound right to me too

 

As to the babies all but the dilute ones are possible but grey is a dominant gene and yellowface is dominant over whiteface blue, dilute is recessive and needs two gene to show up (one form both parents) and it would one happen if Issy is split for dilute, which if cuase is possible when you don't know the history of the bird.

in other words wow still have lots of reading to do i'm still lost....

 

Ask away in the mutation forum and all will help explain anything you want to know.

Yes Isis is definately grey on her belly. She could instead be mauve? Any way I think she has some form of dilution on her because her wing feathers have very light markings and her body colour is not that bright. It is possible that she could be a grey wing.

Yes I thought that if Izzy or Arkady have a dilute gene, (which is unlikely, but still quite possible) half of the babies would be dilute.

Saffron has dark eyes, however she has a white iris. Could she perhaps be a double-factor spangle????

double-factor spangle have no markings at all like ino's

 

Greywing or dilute would match, but normaly greywing is only 50% colour reduction. So you might be right with your first choice.
