the mutation jeanette is refering to is violet. if you put a violet to a blue you will breed colbalts. then if you pair colbalt to colbalt you get the violet mutation.
now the problem is violets are still selling for $5,000 to $10,000 each. so good luck.
i would put a lace wing or blue lacewing to your blue to breed blue lacewings. they are selling for under $500 a bird .

A Blue Lacewing Hen would give nothing but blue split lacewing cocks and blue hens
I would get a Pastel Grey Hen.

You can only get Albino if your Blue Cock is split Lutino

Unfortunately, the breeder either didn't know what he was talking about, or he was lying to you  A Silver hen isn't a very good combo. You will only get Blue/Cinnamon Cock Grey/Cinnamon Cocks Blue Hens Grey Hens Your best bet would be a Pastel Grey hen, that way, you will get: Blue Cocks & Hens Grey Cocks & Hens Pastel Blue Cocks & Hens Pastel Grey Cocks & Hens |
