Mutation Question that people have as Mick.

Question by a Rhys Wailes

hi
i saw your website and noticed you specialised in mutation lorikeets so i was just wandering whether you could answer this question for me:
i currently own a pair of scaly breasted lorikeets. The hen is a pure lutino and the cock bird is a split lutino. What coloured chicks would they produce?
thanks heaps
rhys

Hi Rhys

As long as your lutino hen is not mask grey-green, than this will be what you will get

Male Genotype: Normal, Split Lutino (normal green /lutino)

Female Genotype: Lutino

25.0% Male - Lutino
25.0% Male - Normal, Split Lutino
25.0% Female - Lutino
25.0% Female - Normal

If your Lutino (yellow) hen is masking SF (single factor) grey-green than this will be what you will get.

Male Genotype: Normal, Split Lutino

Female Genotype: Lutino, masking(SF) Grey-green

12.5% Male - Lutino
12.5% Male - Normal, Split Lutino
12.5% Male - Lutino, masking(SF) Grey-green
12.5% Male - (SF) Grey-green, Split Lutino

12.5% Female - Lutino
12.5% Female - Normal
12.5% Female - Lutino, masking(SF) Grey-green
12.5% Female - (SF) Grey-green

Please note that you can not tell the normal Lutino from the Lutino masking grey-green

If your Lutino (yellow) hen is masking DF ( double factor) grey-green than this will be what you will get.


Male Genotype: Normal, Split Lutino

Female Genotype: Lutino, Masking DF Grey-green


25% Male - Lutino, Masking (SF) Grey-green
25% Male - (SF) Grey-green, Split Lutino

25% Female - Lutino, Masking (SF) Grey-green
25% Female - (SF) Grey-green

Please note that you can not tell the normal Lutino from the Lutino masking grey-green

Please note that Grey-green is a grey factor, and is the colour that people call incorrectly an Olive Scaly.

Hope this has helped you out.
