I am gonna ask my dad if I can breed these two while he is gone and sell the babies (hopefully keep a few lol) I am sure he wouldn't mind as long as I don't keep anyway. Hopefully he will fall in love with one, that is my plan lol. I am wondering if I would get a yf2?

I would say you wouldn't get any yellow faces but I'm not sure I don't get how YF Work. Lol

It's going to be pretty unlikely that you will get any yf2 mutations. Most if not all the chicks will be green, and you might have a few opalines depending on Tweet's parentage. Most will also have Teeki's pied mutation.

You would need two birds with the yellow face mutation. It doesn't even matter if one or both of the parents are only yellow face mutation 1. You need both parents to be able to give a yellow face gene each. I guess your only coup that could give you a yf2 chick is Dakota and Sonny, when he is old enough.

If both need yf to give yf type 2 how can you tell if an albino has a yf? I gotten yf type 2 from my rainbow cock to an albino hen.

Bonkers, that's a tough question. Normally, yellow face mutations would show on an albino bird, of course creating the creamino. My best guess is that she carried the gene somehow masked (which theoretically shouldn't be possible btw) or that some other kind of mutation was in play to make her appear white: maybe a powerful dilution or something. Still, everything I have ever read says that yellow face 2 has to come from both parents.

"Rainbow" isn't a formal mutation, but a combination of lots of mutations. It usually is a YF2 opaline full body color greywing with unusual marbling. Let's see if I can find one of Bonker's rainbows to show you.
