How does the bird genetic calculator work?

Each mutation of a species is described in the Birds Evolution genetic reference data. The calculator combines what the father and the mother can pass on and gives the probability of every possible chick, separately for young males and young females.

Is my selection saved?

Yes, on this device: the mutations you tick are remembered for each species, so you find them again when you come back. Nothing is sent to your account.

Can I use the calculator with my own birds?

In the Birds Evolution app, the genetic calculator reads the mutations recorded on your birds: pick a pair and see its chicks, with pedigrees and inbreeding at hand.

Bird genetic calculator

Find a species

Choose a species, tick the mutations of the father and of the mother, and see straight away the colours to expect in their chicks: young males and young females separately, with the split birds.

Recessive, dominant (single and double factor) and sex-linked mutations are taken into account, as well as linked mutations that sit close together on the same chromosome.
