Moll. 1,770 Posted August 14, 2012 Report Share Posted August 14, 2012 What would a blue hen budgie and a green cock budgie probably throw? And does % usually throw that if the chick is the same colour as one of the parents it will probably be that sex? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sherlock 42 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Moll, Blue is recessive to Green, if you did this cross all the young would be Green. They the young would be termed as Green split Blue written as Green / Blue. If you did the said cross blue hen X green male and you got blue young then the green male the father to your young is a Green / Blue. So then a Blue X Green/ Blue will produce 50%Blue and 50% Green /Blue. The sex and colour of the young can be either . Hope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, not really I have a home for the pair, but they decided to breed, and i wanted to let them have that opportunity once they started. Once the young are fledged (If they hatch, she seems a bit rubbish as a broodie) they are all leaving home. Might keep a youngster for in the house Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KittleRox 2,147 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 also if the parents are split for another colour they can throw these, i.e. if the cock bird is split for albino the pair can produce albinos even though neither parent is visualy albino, hope I,m not confusing you lol, one of the things I used to love when breeding budgies was all the different colours that appeared in the nest 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
