...one question...how do you get a double factor yellow face.. Yellowface is not a dominant, it is a Multiple Alleles. So it can be split to but not double factored. :)

  • Author

it's when the babies gets a yellowfactor gene from both parents instead of one yf gene from say dad and normal blue one from mum. Remember the yf gene is dominant over the white face bue gene.

 

20th March - Update.

sorry folks :) I will give the ansers asap.

Why all the pain? Why not just use the Genetic Calculator? :D

 

I agree there with Nerwen, I didn't know about the calculator until recently :blink: but if I didn't do it by hand I would never really learn the stuff. Even if my answers are wrong at least I tried, it isn't about getting it right over everyone else, it is about me learning to get it right by using my head. May not make any sense to some but to me it works :blink:. Good question!

ANSWERS:

 

Pair One

Single Factor Yellowface normal cock with Single Factor Yellowface opaline hen.

 

25% Df Yellow face normal

50% Sf yellow face normal

25% Blue normal

All males split opaline

 

Pair Two

Grey SF spangle cock split cinnamon with Green clearwing hen split blue.

 

25% grey green /blue /clearwing

25% grey(sf) green spangle(sf) /blue clearwing

25% green /blue clearwing

25% green spangle(sf) /blue clearwing

 

All females will be cinnamon while males will be split.

Only half the chicks will be split for blue but only by breeding the on could we tell.

 

 

Pair Three

Green normal cock split blue with Green normal hen split blue.

 

50% greens split blue

50% blues

 

Pair Four

Recessive pied cobalt cock with mauve normal split recessive pied hen

 

25% Mauve recessive pied

25% Mauve normal /recessive pied

25% Cobalt recessive pied

25% Cobalt normal / recessive pied

 

Pair Five

Blue cock split ino with yellowface type two blue hen

 

Males

50% Normal Blues /Ino

50% Yellowface blues/ Ino

 

Females

50% Ablinos

50% Yellowface Albinos (creamino)

 

Pair Six

Dominant pied SF spangle green cock split blue with Opaline SF spangle blue hen

 

12% Blue Double Factor Spangles (looks albino) and Blue dominate pied double factor spangles, (which I think will look albino)

12% Blue normal

12% Blue Dominate pied

12% Blue single factor spangles

12% Green double factor spangle (looks lutino)/blue and Green dominant pied double factor spangle/blue (which I think will still look lutino)

12% Green single factor spangle/blue

12% Green dominate pied/blue

12%Green normal/blue

12% Green dominant pied single factor spangle/blue

 

All Males will be split for opaline.

ummm with out going through all the answers.. was anyone close. :dbb1:

will check mine later on in the day for sure...have to get my kiddo off to school here shortly :dbb1:

Was your answer right Daz?

Hey Nerwen,

 

I have to disagree with you on some of the pairs :blink:

 

Pair two: A grey(sf) bird with a green/blue bird will be able to give grey and blue offspring as well. And only 50% of the females will be cinnamon, while 50% of the males will be split to cinnamon.

 

Pair three: There will be some birds that are just plain green NOT split to blue,

 

In pair four I guess it's supposed to be cobalt normal/rec.pied? :D

 

In pair five some of the females will not be inos, and some cocks are not split to ino

 

And in pair six your total adds up to a 108%

 

I hope you don't mind me pointing this out :angel1:

 

Regards, MaryJane.

(Laughing out loud) Someone did the math :D Yes I know but I couldn't be bothered making it into .somthing%

 

Pair three: There will be some birds that are just plain green NOT split to blue,
In pair five some of the females will not be inos, and some cocks are not split to ino

As I stated in Pair two "Only half the chicks will be split for blue but only by breeding the on could we tell." You still write it up as such becuase you don't have an outward sign to know.

They can, (Laughing out loud). Well I guess I need to edit that one.

 

In pair four I guess it's supposed to be cobalt normal/rec.pied?

:blink: Opps yes it is thank you.

 

Daz- many were close from the few I looked at but it was getting late and I couldn't check them all.

I love genitics... one day I hope to understand it.. :blink:

Well you don't have to breed the non-ino females to tell that they're non-inos :P
