i am thinking black Araucana and Speckled Sussex. well thanks for looking so hard that will help me a ton

Sorry if i had a plan I would discuss certain crosses. The only crosses I am interested in knowing about right now are Araucana over White leghorn and RiR over Sussex. But I am in the really early stages of coming up with a plan so i am in the collect data phase. mljohnson05 that was perfect...

does anyone know of any reference material on what genes are dominate and what ones are recessive. And what those genes do?

yes, but I am unsure what traits are dominate. as in combs, size, growth rate ect

from what I read egg characteristics are carried more by males then the females and body is more by the female. So in my head i was thinking taking a Araucana, Maran, Penedesenca, Welsumer or cream legbars Rooster over a white leghorn female then take the best rooster from that cross. then...

you make it sound as if the stronger trait caries over in any cross. as in lay rate, growth rate, and body size is that true?

thanks for trying. if color of the birds becomes a factor it will

i use that chart often haha, but i wondered if there was a group of genes that created a certain growth rate or egg color. and what they might be

that helps. but i am interested in trying to breed chickens to create a flock that fits my needs. so i need to know if its better to breed a male Sussex to a hen to help with quality meat or another breed male to a Sussex female. the same for things like growth rate, maturing rates and egg...

Does anyone have a website that tells what breeds and what genders have what genes. And what each gene does roughly?

ok, so if i wanted to hatch out 25 hens a season, thats approx 50 chicks. So I need atleast 8 hens, and if I buy shipped hatching egss then i would need no less then 10 hens haha

I have decided to get silkies and a few bantam cochins to hatch out eggs for me. But I do not know how many large eggs they can hatch. And if any colors are better at it then others.

any color silkies or bantam cochins better then others in regards to broodiness and momthering. and how many large eggs can 1 hatch out
