Thanks

Hi,


lutino x albino => 100% lutino/blue (a.k.a. lutino split blue; a.k.a. lutino split albino)

But of course your lutino could already be split blue, in which case you get:
lutino/blue x albino => 50% lutino/blue + 50% albino

If your lutino is split for some kind of yellowface, you could get crème-ino in stead of albino.

I'm sure glad some of you folks understands genetics because I sure as heck do not! What would you have to breed to get Albinos?

Ryan,


If you already have an albino cock it's fairly easy:

albino cock x blue hen => blue cock/albino + albino hen

The "blue hen" can also be a grey or any other bird from the "blue series". Blue series don't have any yellow or green colouring.

Look at other posts I've already written:
Albino (http://www.budgerigars.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=588)
blue + yellow = white (http://www.budgerigars.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=588) (both are identical links)
