Daft question, but will that mutation be unique? Not sure there is such a thing OP seeing as you can breed anything that's already been bred.

So if the same recipe was used one could expect the same result?

I've just been reading about them here www.bcv.asn.au/Lacewings.htm JoJo must be split for Ino in hidden form and mum Cagney is a visual cinnamon. The following is taken from Cute Little Budgies Aviary site: Lacewing is a combined mutation of INO and cinnamon, and is sex-linked (located on the x chromosome) needing only one copy of the gene to be visual in a female, and two copies of the gene to be visible in males. For a female to have this mutation she must show it visually, while a male can have it in a split (hidden) form. It seems that "normally" you are likely to get Lutino's, of which I have 3, and they are "normally" always hens. My other chick from this clutch is the rainbow cock, however I would like for someone to tell me what it really is, but as it is a male, based upon what I have read, this too could some form of lacewing but with opaline? It really is sooo confusing Lacewings can be confused with fallows, but fallows have a greater dilution on the upper chest and belly, with the intensity increasing toward the vent and rump, and dark violet cheek patches, and dark tail feathers.

I think he is a dilute, rather than a lacewing. What colour are his eyes? My info says lacewings have red/ruby eyes, whereas the dilutes have the normal black eye. Both get the white iris at maturity.

Well I was told that normally an opaline or a cinnamon will be a hen, but my Snowy was both and a male. Miss my beautiful boy, he was the Marilyn Monroe of my flock! Here he is at 3 months old with Roswell and Monty

Ooooo, never heard that one, Marianne Marlow. I think someone was pulling your leg. Spyro is opaline; so is Misty.

I'm not disappointed about the outcome of the chicks, I'm disappointed because dear Becca had her heart set on a yellow one. I must say that the lacewing is far from being a green budgie in those terms, he has a slight suffusion of green on his belly but this is masked by yellow, and his wings are yellow, but where the edges of the feathers should be black, these are a shimmery silver. An absolutely gorgeous bird and from what I read they are few and far between. The photograph of him doesn't do him any justice. You are more than welcome to come and look at him. Of course there is the next round which is up to 7 eggs now and only a week away from hatching the first. All of the first round are moving into the juvenile flight this weekend to give mum some peace So are there so new little chicks now @budgiesretreat ?? Sorry if I've missed the announcement I haven't caught up for a bit.

Hi guys, I've managed to slip home again for a few hours. Yes there are 3 new babies, no photos as they have come whilst I've been away. All is looking good so far and there is still 5 eggs to hatch!
