Half the greens will be split lutino and half to lutino and blue. Half the lutinos will be not split to anything and half will be split blue. I'm not sure what you mean by blue split yellow white? Do you mean split to yellow and split to white? if so a split to white cannot occur - it is not a mutation in its own right - just a combination visually of both the blue and lutino mutation in the same bird which cancel each other out to leave a white bird. Photos would be good, in fact photos are essential both of the parents and the babies. cheers, Mike |

Hi I've recently discovered that my yellow princess cock has light green on his shoulders and down his flanks would this mean that he is a pied

Hey guys my last post was pretty stupid I figured out my lutino cock is carrying lime so he is definitely not pied.
If anyone could recommend a partner for this bird it would be great as I'm up in the air as to wat pairing I want to make cheers drew

Lime is a recessive gene and can be quite variable in Princesses. For that reason the mate for your lime cock should also carry the lime gene, otherwise you will not get any lime babies. My suggestion then is to get either a lime hen or a hen split to lime.
Personally my choice would be a split lime hen, since I am not a great fan of pairing too recessive birds up with each other. From my experience there is a tendency to get smaller babies and quite a few princesses are pretty small already these days.
So I would trey to source the biggest normal split lime hen that you can. You should get half normal babies split to lime and half lime babies.
cheers,
Mike
