Neat! He's good looking and she's a nice normal. Good luck, I think whatever they are will have nice blushing! Post the results, please? :D

I could be wrong! But I don't think there is a such thing called 50% ringer.
I think you'll get normals maybe a ringer.

The genetics of ringers isn't very well known. There are certainly people who breed lines out that seem to produce ringers now an again--but more than likely you'll just produce normals. That's just speculation really, but I can say that whatever mutation causes ringing isn't simple recessive and/or dominant/co-dominant, it's a bit more mysterious than that.

As far as I know, ringers are usually het pieds! If that is the case, you will get normals that are 50% het pied and you might get one that is a ringer but there is no guarantee! You should really be breeding the ringer to a het pied or pied for the best results!

From what I know, het pieds are usually ringers, but ringers aren't always het pieds. From what I've seen ringers tend to be just a random occurence, there's no het for ringers that we can identify at the moment, and the genetics are unknown, if in fact it is inheritable at all.

In Kevin McCurley's book He states that it is Co-dominant or dominant within certain lines. He also stated that they often see Ringers pop up in random clutches. This is still a mystery.

Ringers pop up not only in normals but in other morphs as well, and fully 90% of the time it is not genetic nor inheritable.
