The following table lists
Pacific color mutation percentages for primary recessive color mutations (blue,
cinnamon, fallow, dilute, pastel, pied and lutino). It is important to remember
that these percentages are based on 100 chicks from a pairing produced NOT
individual clutches. Also, it is highly unlikely that any Pacific hen can
produce that many chicks in her lifetime.

Next, we will list the expected percentages when breeding dominant mutations,
in parrotlets this is pied. There are two factors involved with dominant
mutations - single (SF) and double (DF). You will not be able to differentiate
between single and double factor mutations unless you know the pairing or
through breeding.
