Colour Outcome

Post by Finchtastic » Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:46 pm

If I have a yellow hen and pair her to a dilute green back male... am I looking at some yellows in the offspring? Or am I reading it completely wrong?

Depends on the the parents breast colors. If the hen is White Breast and male is PB/WB you could get Single Factor Yellow males, Double Factor Yellow males, and Dilute males.

As far as hens, half should be Yellow and half should be Green no matter what the breast colors of the parents.
