So the chicken calculator that I've spent 100's of hours poking at is correct in listing [B/B "light" Cuckoo/Barred (DF) ]. I do ponder if it is the double S/S but that's besides the point.
My concern and confusion is really an internet/communication problem. Doubt was cast on the lightness of...
I found info on this site that Dark Brahmas are Di/Di. How would Di/di be expressed on a E/e^b Black bird or a e^b/e^b bird? The real question is how can I select 2nd generation offspring from Dark Brahmas that have or more importantly do not carry Di (or should I even worry about it)?
Thank you. I knew I didn't know both Wh and Barring (stacking? levels? expressions?) and just ran both single and double to see the results. One feature of the Genetic Calculator is that with enough trials you can see results but not the why OR the terminology of what is happening.
I've found...
and again thank you. LOL No additional questions. I could probably ask 100 more but with the calculator I keep making discoveries. Some of what I need to do is just do. All in good time. In my flowers it takes up to 3 years to see the offspring, so I'm looking forward to chickens.
Thank you so much. I had hoped to keep my project small and with just a few roosters, but this solves an issue.
Now for a follow up questions (always follow up questions). Am I safe to assume that Light Sussex is Wheaten and Delawares are Columbian w/ B/ or B/B?
I've just got involved again...
I've been practicing using the Chicken Calculator (many thanks Henk69.nl). My question is will I be able to visually tell the difference between 2 black patterned silver columbian hens that only differ by
EWh eb vs eb eb. My desire is to use the non wheaten hen.
