Thought I should share this...(semi-brag)

GreenleafGreyhound · 02-21-2005, 02:09 PM

My budgies have gone into nesting mode again, and this will be our third clutch. The hen, Lime, is a Greywing Grey-Green/Recessive ("/" means split to), and the cock, Alex, is an Opaline Dominant Pied. You can see them on greypeke.mypetpages.net . To get a feel for what these mutations are: Written explanation-long read, but very consise and Gallery of mutations-lots of pics

After much thought and writing to other breeders, I'm fairly certain that this clutch will consist of the following:
-Possibly Greys since grey is dominant
-Possible Greywings
-Possible Pieds since both parents are carrier of the gene. However, I'm fairly sure all the pied chicks will be Dominant pied.
-Possible Grey-greens since Lime carries a dark factor. I believe Alex does too which brings me to my next conclusion...
-Possible Olives, since Alex is suspected to carry a dark factor
Oh, yes, and ALL daughters will be Opaline. I'm so excited! Chick 1 is due to hatch tomorrow.
