Also, When I put in these parents:
I put in that the male is a OH/PB/YB - DF(I only know this because the picture shows a green bird when "SF" was selected and he is visually yellow). The Female is put in as BH/PB/YB (she actually has a white head, but the program shows the correct picture colors when I select black...I think I read somewhere in the program that black is suppressed in yellow goulds?)
I get this offspring:
50% Male >> Red / Black / Orange (Head) - Purple (Chest) - DF Yellow (Body)
50% Female >> Red / Orange (Head) - Purple (Chest) - Yellow (Body)
I don't understand why it says 50% males red/black/orange headed!? I know I have a 50/50 shot of getting a male, but what is he going to look like??? How can he have a red/black/orange head??? and how can the female offspring have both a red and orange head? Why would they not be black headed like their mom? CONFUSED!!! Also, please dont think I have not done my research, I have, it is just really different terminology for me, I am used to simple recessive genetics and co-dominant stuff that you use punnett squares to figure out (though I suppose I could do one with the birds too...it just might take me a few minutes to figure out how to set it up.)
