Hi all can someone or everyone comment on how to get different mutations, I have 2 pineapple hens and a yellow sided split cinnamon cock bird. I would love to play around and experiment so all advice is appreciate Assuming your hens are not carrying any unknown splits, you will obviously get the same results from pairing your cock with either hen. Pineapple is a marketing term invented to make the birds sound more attractive to sell. It is in fact a combination visibly of the cinnamon and opaline mutations. Yellow-sided is likewise a made up name for what should be called an opaline mutation. Both cinammon and opaline are sex-linked recessive genes. So, combining a cinnamon-opaline (pineapple) with an opaline (yellow-sided) split cinnamon will give you the following. Sons 50.0% opaline (yellow-sided) split cinnamon 50.0% cinnamon opaline (pineapple) daughters 50.0% opaline (yellow-sided) 50.0% cinnamon opaline (pineapple) cheers, Mike |
