My observations with Lutino Gouldian genetics
Posted: 10 Jul 2024, 05:45
Ok. This is my third season breeding Lutino and INO Gouldians (both American and euro variety)
This is what I observed.
Pair 1 : RH/OH LB/Wb DF SB split Lutino
YTBH WB YB Lutino (Euro)
She is black head but genetically yellow head. She has a yellow tip beak and she did produce a black head male and black head female chick when I paired her with split to black head male last season.
This pair do not have any visible purple chest. But they produced Purple Chested dilute greens. The same hen produced purple chested males and females previous year as well.
I am assuming the parents of this Lutino hen sports a visible purple chest and being Lutino, she might have masked it visible white chest ? Is my conclusion correct ?
Pair 2 : YH LB/WB SF SB
RH WB YB Lutino split blue (euro hen)
Again, this pair doesn’t have a visible purple chest for both male and female. They did throw two blue back hens with purple chest and one DF silver with purple chest. This happened in previous season.
I paired her with a YB WB BB split Lutino male this year. Again, both male and female doesn’t have a visible purple chest. But this pair gave me a purple Chested pastel blue male that’s split to Lutino anyways.
Pair 3 : RH WB DF YB Lutino split male (American Lutino) paired with YH LB/WB BB hen.
Both male and female don’t have a visible purple chest. But they have a RH/OH PB/WB BB split to Lutino male.
So, in all these three scenarios, can we assume that the Lutino bird masked the purple chest and it is visible in its offspring ? I don’t want to call split to purple chest as purple chest is dominant in regular Gouldian world.
Please share your opinion on this practical outcome.
Thanks.
