Hmm...Genetics confuses me, but that's what my Creamino Daisy has - Lutino parents. I'll leave the real answer to an expert.

Yeah, I'm with Jackie. I only have a 50% chance of getting the gender right. :)

No, I believe the baby can be either male or female. It is a creamino because both parents are split to blue.

Well, split to blue-series (the ALBS website has started refering to Dutch Blue as simply "Blue"; I wouldn't want anyone to think that you mean only Dutch Blue), but with that clarification, Laura's statement is correct. The only time you know for certain the sex of a Creamino or Lutino offspring is when the mother is NOT an Ino and yet you get an Ino baby - in which case, you know the baby is a female.
