What would be good to pair with lutino hens? Thanks ;D

hi
you could put them with
lutino cocks to get all lutinos
lime cocks to get lutinolime cocks and lime hens
platinum cocks to get lutinoplatinum cocks and platinum hens
of cause you could also use lutino opaline, lime opaline, platinum opaline

hello natella brendon is right they are the best birds to put to a lutino hen but they are also hard to get and lime or platinum cocks are around $100 dollars each. a cheap alternative for a 2 year plan is to get a blue opaline or blue pied cock and pair it to your lutino hens all you will breed is normal cocks and hens but the cocks will be split lutino and blue and either opaline or pied. now the following year you pair those cocks back to a blue or blue pied hen and you will get the following hens lutino, lutino opalines albinos and albino opalines all these are hen birds. if you use the blue pied cock and put the split normals back to a blue pied you will get the following hens pieds, blue pieds lutinos, lutino pieds , albinos and albino pieds all these will be hens. as you can see for a $20 to $30 cock bird in 2 years you can have some of the top of the range hen birds.
my advice would be to just go with the cheaper alternative if you want to breed from the lutino hens this season. as youwon`t find any platinum or lime cocks for sale at this time of year anyway. and in 2 years you will have some valuable hen birds.
hope this helps.

I have just bought an Opaline male (yellow in colour). Sorry I'm not sure what it is called. What would I get if I paired it with my lutino hen?

you will get
opaline x lutino

normal/opaline/lutino cocks
opaline hens
