australian yellow x blue

Post by wildbill » Tue Dec 21, 2010 8:57 am

hi
couldn't find this combo on the gouldian genetic forecaster and i read that the australian yellow mutation is recessive so i was wondering what would be the outcome with these pairing.

1. australian yellow cock x blue hen
2. split/blue cock x australian yellow hen
thanks in advance

In the first pairing you would get all RH YB babies.
The second pairing will give you dilute boys and GB girls.

The australian yellow back is recessive so all young from both pairings will be split to australian yellow. All of the first pairings young and half the second pairing will also be split to blue. The following season you could mate the unrelated splits back to each other and possibly get pure white gouldians.
