I have yet to produce a cuckoo male with slate leg, and not because I cant do it, is just that I am still gathering the genetic material need it for such a complex breeding.... but I get closer with time..
ok seems you got lost on one of my post.. you see the two birds I posted? they are not supose to have Black/slate shanks, first because Id and Barring prevents it...BUT both birds have white silkie mothers, seems like recessive white and Lavender are able to partially inhibit Id(responsible for...
it could be recessive white, but will know for sure if it turns out to be fully white when adult.. have you try to introduce Fibromelanotic to the mix? I believe the same gene inhibiting Id and Barring allowing for light slate shanks could allow Fibromelanotic to enhance the shank color to a...
wow. thats a very strange bird. never seen lavender leak black at all, its genetic freak, you should keep it and see if you reproduce its effect and maybe pin down what causing this effect
I was talking about a progect I had on my mind(with all the genetics figured out) about a Red Barred Ameraucana that was also autosexing.. but I´m very far from applying this into practice
No.. the eventual Goal is a cuckoo/Barred Lavender Ameraucana... man I wish I had all the genetics you have at your hand, I see you guys and I just cant help around with the breeding..
