violet & grey budgies...need help.

[clinton9]

Hi,
I have questions...

1) Can both single factor violet-cobalt normal male budgie and a single factor violet-factor normal female budgie produce double factor violet-cobalt normal budgie chicks

SF + SF = DF

2) If I breed the male violet-cobalt normal budgie to a female grey normal budgie, can they produce "violet-grey" budgie chicks
If violet-grey budgies existed...How can I tell which the violet-grey normal budgies and grey normal budgies

3) Can a double factor yellow-faced type 2nd mauve normal male budgie and a single factor violet-cobalt normal female budgie produce double factor violet-cobalt normal chicks and double factor yellow-faced type 2nd violet-cobalt normal chicks

4) Can a double factor yellow-faced type 2nd skyblue female budgie and a single factor yellow-faced type 2nd cobalt male budgie produce double factor yellow-faced type 2nd cobalt chicks

Hi there... a quick question

What does double factor or single factor mean?

[BudgiesBuddy]

A budgie is Single Factor when only one gene for a particular characteristic is present.

A budgie is Double Factor when two genes for a particular characteristic are present.
