Yellow painted finch

[Crooky386]

hi everyone. I just bought a yellow hen painted if I breed it with a normal red will I get any yellow young

[elferoz777]

No. The young will be split. (Red in colour split for yellow)

Try your luck. You never know if your red bird is split for yellow.

[Crooky386]

Ok. Thanks for the reply

[Crooky386]

Would that be the same if it was a yellow cock and a red hen

[finchbreeder]

Yes. Recessive not sex linked.

My first pair of finches were a pair of Painteds, yellow cock, and what I thought was a normal hen....Then I got yellow young from them, so like elferoz777 said, try your luck, you never know.
