FINCHforum

Hi just a question about parrot finches. I have read that if you put a Seagreen X Redbreast all the seagreens will be hens and all the redbreasts will be cocks. What happens if you put RB cock X SG Hen? Does it work in reverse? Regards Mick.

Got it wrong in my original post. Should have been Seagreen COCK X Redbreast HEN their chicks = all seagreen hens and all redbreast cocks. Regards Mick.

Right. Sex linked, so all hens ought to be sea green and cocks visual reds.

You likely had budgie inos in your past life.
Think of this as a budgie ino cock x normal pairing to make it easier to remember.

Thanks Paul. I specialised in Lutinos. I thought they sounded like sex linked but didn't know if that worked the same in finches. Regards Mick.
