Split Quakers

Postby Dalton on Tue Jul 08, 2008 4:04 pm

I am in the process of breeding a pair of split ( to blue ) quakers. Both birds are visual green and sitting on eggs. If I am deciphering the genetic calculator correctly it states that I will get 25% blue, 50% split and 25% green. How can I tell witch one of the green offspring are split and witch ones are normal green. Thanks for your help. Dalton

The only way to find out if your green offspring are split to blue, is to breed them to other green split blues, or to blue birds! If after 1-3 clutches and they don't produce blue offspring, then they probably aren't split!

Otherwise, you can't tell if any of them are split or not... Sorry.
