green irn & albino irn

Albino is a sex related colour?
At the moment i have an albino female sitting on four eggs the male bird is green, dont know if they are split for any other colours.
but if they are pure albino and pure green,which sex of chicks will be split
for albino. I know they will all be showing the green colour.
Nice question for someone out there

It appears no-one answered this for you so I will have a go now although my genetics understanding is not very good.
I know an Albino cock and green hen will produce 50% green/blue/lutino cocks and 50% Lutino/Blue hens
In the reverse situation and With the albino being a resessive colour I am tempted to suggest that you will not have the Albino gene in any of the babies.

OK here is another calculation, although still not accurate for your situation...
Green/Blue Cock & Albino hen will produce the following
25% Green/blue/Lutino cocks
25% Blue/Lutino cocks
25% Green/Blue hens
25% blue hens

Again no sign of the albino gene.
Sorry, I hope someone can help you further if you still need an answer to this.

OOps soory, just read the rules for the ask the experts section and realise I wasn't allowed to answer this. But it popped up in the related topics section so I just had a go. seems funny than none of the experts answered when it was first posted back in december. Anyway, sorry I won't answer next time its put in this section.

Perroquet, if it's just simple "Ask the Experts" it's not a problem. Only in one forum (Cockatoo Expert) no one can reply to a question. In the others, people are allowed to reply because either, a. the expert isn't there, or b. they don't mind too much as they do not check the forum individually (someone may post the question directly to the expert so that they can get a reply back to give to the one who asked), if that makes any sense...

I would have answered however all my basic knowledge on genetics is mainly geared towards cockatiels, and I don't know how much alike tiels and ringneck mutations are...

Oh Ok thanks for that Monica & Tiki, I thought I'd butted in where I shouldn't. I certainly don't consider myself an expert but I will certainly help when I can.
Thanks again
