Breeding predictions.

[Donna Lee]

Hey guys!

I'm just wondering what the possible outcomes are for my first breeding pair.

Hen - Nigella - Light green dominant pied, cinnamon.
She's the bird in the middle of this image.

Cock - Benny - Recessive pied, cobalt (I think). He has no black markings what so ever, so I think there might be another mutation on top. Here's a couple of pictures of him, newest first.

Both green and dominant pied are colours which are dominant to recessive pied and blue.
The cock looks greywing as well.

Cinnamon is sex linked and cinnamon hens will not produce cinnamon chicks unless the cock is cinnamon or split for cinnamon
.
All chicks will be green unless the hen is split for blue.

All chicks will be dominant pied but split for recessive pied unless the hen is split recessive pied then you could get recessive pied chicks.

You could get some grey wings.

Thanks, Nat!! That info is exactly what I wanted. I didn't know that green was dominant to blue (somehow!). I'm learning

No Probs Donna :-) It'll be interesting to see how the chicks turn out as you can never tell what colours the parents could be hiding :-) I had a mystery albino from a green hen and a y/f sky cock. That was a surprise!
