I apologize for any confusion. Let me clarify:

In budgies, the Opaline mutation is a sex-linked mutation. When a male budgie carries the Opaline gene, he will pass it down to all his daughters (female chicks), who will display the Opaline feather pattern because the Opaline mutation is dominant in females.

For male chicks, they will inherit the Opaline gene from their father if he carries it, but since the Opaline mutation is recessive in males, the male chicks will appear as split Opaline, meaning they carry the gene but do not show the visual Opaline feather pattern.

Therefore, a male Opaline budgie can produce Opaline female chicks and split Opaline male chicks, depending on the genetics of the offspring.
Nope. You just make it harder to understand Imma go read something written by a person 😭
 
You're wording is odd and confusing me 🫠

So a male opaline will always produce opaline female chicks and spilt opaline males?
Wait I think I actually get it. Males need to get two genes from both parents for it to show up, but females only need one. That's my understanding.
