I have black headed normal back gouldians. The cock has a white breast. Will I get any with white breasts? I have a mac and am unable to download and use the genetic forcaster program.

If the hen is white breasted or is split to white breast you'll get white breasted babies. If not, you'll get purple breasted babies.

They will also be split to w/b,if the hen is not a split herself.
Then you will get w/b off the next generation.

ok and since I don't know if she is split or not, we will not know. Her only off spring has a red head, and she is a blackhead. I think it came from her mate with the previous owner
