Quick question for the brainy ones if a Lacewing is a cross between an Albino and a Cinnamon how do you make one, what would the parent birds have to be to produce lacewing offspring??
could it work with the Cock being split for albino and the hen being cinnamon please explain.

The lacewing is a combination of cinnamon & ino. The two genes must both be present in the cock bird and they must combine to produce a lacewing. The chances of this happening are not very high but I managed to produce lacewings in the second generation after crossing cinnamons and inos
Your cock that is split for ino mated to a cinnamon hen will produce sons that are split to cinnamon only as well as sons that are split for both mutations. Visually you won't be able to tell which ones are split for both mutations so, even if the genes combine, you might have to breed hundreds of chicks before producing a lacewing

It could not be explained in more simpler words  |
