This is just a quick guide to using the calculators as they are all run the same way:

All that you do is click the boxes/circles that correspond to the mutations that your birds, or hypothetical birds, have. The male is to first set (1.0), and the female is the second set (0.1). The only other thing that you have to decide on is if you want to see results that only denote the visual mutations, or if you want to see the splits as well (this is the default). If you only want the visuals, click the box next to the words "visuals only (no splits)". After that, you click the word "generate" to see your results. It is that simple!

These are examples:

The first picture denotes a male pineapple and the second picture denotes a female pineapple:




This example is a bit more advanced in the displayed mutations including visuals and splits:

In this example the male bird, the first set is: visually dark- double factor (df); visually ino (commonly known as lutino); split to (a mutation the bird has but is not visible)- recessive pied.
In this example the female bird, the second set is: visually orange face; split to (a mutation the bird has but is not visible)- aqua.
