I would use this website... It also depends if any of your birds are split to recessive genes as well.

Looks like you got some help with your question, but I wanted to welcome you to the forum! There's lots of good reading at www.finchinfo.com, including some articles on Lady Gouldians and a genetic chart. If you put your general location in your profile, it makes it easier for members to direct you to where to buy supplies, etc.
