Cream Ino Societies
Posted: Sat Feb 20, 2010 6:05 pm
Perhaps someone can help me out here..
I bought a number of societies abt 2 months ago. Included was a cream ino male, who had been mated with a fawn & white pied female and came with a nest with little babies
They have all done well, and I've been researching inos.
Not sure why the lady paired him with a pied... seems a chocolate would have been better, and next time around that is what I plan to do..
Here is the interesting part..
Of the 5 babies
3 are almost white (slightly creamy ) with the dark red eyes- these from what I've read are females.
1 is a beautiful dark chocolate - male, again from what I've read..
and the last is a pale fawn colour. This one has me a bit stumped.. did the fawn come from the female and get diluted ? or ? ?
Gotta love genetics!
And ideas/thoughts appreciated
