Her color is recessive, and so is the white egg gene, but you can breed her to an EE if you want. I would recommend getting more white egg layers if you want white eggs.
No.
I don't know what a Danish Brown Leghorn is, but I'll assume it's the same as any brown Leghorn. It's all coming together... I think a brown Leghorn is your culprit. Your EE has the mahogany gene (and clearly at least one copy of duckwing.)
A Welsummer genotype looks like this eeMhMh
Your...
Sex linked genes are genes that males have two copies of but hens have one copy of.
Barring, silver, and dermal melanin Inhibitor are dominant sex-linked, so you use the hen with the gene in a cross.
Chocolate is recessive so you use the male with the gene in a cross.
so I guess my question is - when I breed a Welsummer to a mixed rooster how do i get an easter egger pullet that looks like a Welsummer?How is this possible??Crusoe looks just like a Welsummer with beard and muffs. I thought dad would pass on his feathering colour to his daughter? But clearly...
5-Better pic of Crusoe- is it possible she is from my welsummer hen? looks identical to a Welsummer except for muff and beard. The weird thing is she lays blue. (not green--BLUE). You’re right, she looks identical to a Wellie except for the beard. The color and type even. It’s stupifying. Do you...
Bonkers (a 2 yr old hen- IS SHE WHEATON???? -she is likely the mother of Caramel- if possible? both are VERY flighty)
No she looks like a blue wheaten/duckwing heterozygote.
The comb fits. The color doesn’t, but Crusoe could get the red
6 and 7- more photos of Fennel. I just love her colouring...
