Hi All,
I am a little puzzled about this Gouldian chick as to what mutation it is and after some advice.
Parents are Cock RHPBsfY (Dilute) and Hen is a OHPBYB, both of these birds where brought at separate times from a pet shop and come with no history of there genetics.
In previous clutches they have hatched chicks holding white/yellow/white nodules as if it was a Aus Yellow but none of these chicks got to open there eyes before they died, they are usually last to hatch and the runt of the clutch.
With this chick doing well and appears to be the strongest out of its siblings it has now opened its eyes displaying a obvious red colour in both eyes.
Although the picture below fails to fully show the intensity of the red to its best most if not all will agree it appears to be red.
At first I was thinking it was a Aus Yellow but after reading this post viewtopic.php?f=105&t=7383 and the fact it has red eyes im a little unsure.
Do Aus Yellows have red eyes?
Any idea people?
Red Eyed Gouldian - Aus Yellow or Lutino?

I dont believe they do but I am no expert.
You may well have a lutino.

Thanks guys..!!
I don't get excited easy but curiosity will be the death of me...lol
Only time will tell, this time next week I will have another good look (maybe even a little earlier..lol) and take some more pictures.
Now if this is a Lutino is this mutation recessive like the blues or sex-linked like the Belgium and American Lutino?
Rich.

If it is a lutino its sex linked recessive

Could this be the same mutation discussed some years ago in the following thread?

I believe so, it was this post that got me thinking when trying to find info of Aus Yellows with red eyes.SamDavis wrote:Could this be the same mutation discussed some years ago in the following thread?

Looks like the same thing. So the gene is definately out there in small quantities. Good luck with this bird and it's parent/s. So maybe the parents need different mates next season to try and pull out a half sib.

It looked like the earlier thread pair bred a few young cocks too which I guess would have been possible lutino splits. I wonder if the father of this red-eyed bird is somehow related? Assuming sex-linked then Rich you'd best hang onto all the young cocks too as there is 50% chance they are split lutino just like the father.
