Hi,
I have a pastel sky blue hen ringneck and a silver male. What colour would the babies turn out to be?
Thanks,

Hi, I have a pastel sky blue hen ringneck and a silver male. What colour would the babies turn out to be? Thanks, sky blue is cinnamon blue, silver is cinnamon grey. Pastle i am unsure of, but i have read that it is dominant in blue series mutations. if this is not true then it is just recessive autosomal. therefore: you will get 25% sky blue 25% sky blue (either pastle or split to) 25% silver 25% silver (either pastle or split to) that is if they are not split to anything else

thanks - so by that - would the (young) females be blue and the males silver? or is this not the case?
as i know with my other pair (yellow hen and green cock) the females were all yellow and males were green
thanks,

I guess the colours will be even in all sexes as the cinnamon is coming through from both parents. With your lutino hen and green cock, the female offspring were lutino because the cock bird is a split. All of your green males would also be like their dad, split lutino.

Matt is correct with your original pair. Males and females will be not be able to sex with colour.
The same actually should also go with your lutino and green pair.
If you have gotten lutino offspring from this pair, this means the male is split lutino. In which case you will get
females: 50% Lutino 50% green
Male: 50% Lutino 50% Green split lutino.
If the cock is not split lutino (meaning you have never gotten a yellow offspring from him) hens will all be green cocks will all be green split lutino
