Olive rainbows

[ozwell]

Is olive the same mutation as greygreen ?
The pair of 'olive' rainbows I got my father inlaw just went down on eggs and he wanted to know what the chicks would be like.



Thanks, Ozwell

Yes - greygreen is the proper name to use rather than olive, although I will often use olive in the shop since it means more to people who are not into mutations.

Two greygreens bred together will produce all greygreen babies if either of the birds is a double factor greygreen since greygreen is a dominant mutation. If both birds are single factor greygreen then 25% of babies will be green and 75% will be greygreen.

cheers,
