Hello. ^^

So I have a male who shows normal and is split to blue, and a female who shows yellow-sided and is also split to blue..i think. She shows a slight tiny bit of blue on the back of her neck/the top of her back.

Would the offspring possibilities be yellow-sided, normal, and blue? What would I get from this pair?

I currently have 4 two week olds in the nest.

Thanks! :)

Unfortunately I'm not sure if we have any Avian genetic counselors here on the forums. Without knowing what traits (both 'dominate' (the features you can see) and 'recessive' (the features you can not see; but, can genetically be passes on in the DNA)) both parents have it is virtually impossible to tell you what you would get from this pair.

The good news, since you already have off spring in the nest, you just have to wait to see what you get! :)
