Explanations of basic Quaker Genetics-

As far as #4,there is a guy that advertises in the Orlando
Sentinel now and again that sells visual blues for $200-
$250.Top price for a sexed blue Q is about $400.Splits are a
waste of money unless you can find someone REALLY trustworthy
(the rare gem of the bird world).And generally,alot of people
sell "splits" that aren't actually split to anything,read the
pages above.And they may not be dishonest,just not really
know.
