Yes same one. I took the 2 ptc elements out and wired in a double light fixture with a 100 watt and 75 watt bulb. Now im getting 99.2 low and 100.2 for a high. Im assuming the ptc elements were still heating and holding heat too long. The bulbs cool down faster.

I have built a small cabinet incubator out of a beverage cooler. Its 15x15x24 tall. I am using a inkbird itc-1000f controller with 2 100 watt ptc ceramic heating elements. I have a fan blowing on the elements. I have the controller set to kick on at 97f and off at 98f. Using a brinese spot check...

Even when raised together they may still fight. Mainly just in the breeding season.

You will need a top for your pen. Ive seen my birds fly almost straight up 30+ feet high into a tree. Use a netting for the top. It will give when the birds fly up and hit it. If you clip their wings and a predator gets after them they can't get away. Each birds need around 100 sq ft. So that...

It all started as a pair of India blues for a Christmas gift for the wife and now we are up to 8!

Thats it! Lol. I wasnt sure how to put both the bronze mutation and bs pattern on the same 4 square punnett. And now i see why i wasnt sure because you cant. Lol. Had i paid attention in high school i probably would have remembered that.

That is not the crossing i wanted to diagram. The F1 crossing is what i wanted just as Birdrain92 has shown me.

Awsome thanks. I just got done with a punnett square that a thought was right and i got the same result. And of the Blue barred wing 1 will be split bronze, 2 split bs, 5 split bronze and bs, and 1 blue. Is this correct?

I agree and understand this. I am wanting to see this on a punnett square. Do you know how to display this on a punnett square. My confusion is that the offspring from the F1 breeding only results in a 1/16th chance to get bronze bs. A punnett square only shows 1/4th, 1/2, and 3/4 chances.

So do they travel on separate genes? My first offspring will be Blue split bronze and bs. With this bird will he have blue on one gene and bronze, bs on the other?

i want to make bronze blackshoulders from scratch starting with a bronze cock and bs hen. Im just trying to understand how the genes travel as i make my crosses. I understand that the first cross will make blue split bronze and bs. And i have to breed 2 siblings from this cross " or have another...

I understand that the first offspring default back to blue. But breeding back to father would not get the black shoulder to show up. I would just like to see on paper how the bronze gene and the bs gene carry. Would they both be on the same gene or seperate

Not with this. I can not find where its broke down with the bronze mutation and pattern together.

Hi all. Im new to the peafowl world and have been doing tons of reading. And now my brain is a little sluggish. Lol. My interest are in the Bronze mutation. Ive been trying to find a picture of a punnett square to better understand the whole genetic flow. I want to start with a Bronze cock and a...
