Ill read it to learn. But i dont have and of those breeds. What do you know about barred cochins and how the genetics cross with a cream legbar. Is the barring silver. It looks to be silverQuote:
wildtype is the Only e allele were the headspot on the females is either absent or very faint.. check Rhodebard chicks, welbar chicks also, 99% of females lack the headspot, only on legbars you see a very faint one in like 40% of the females.. BUT in other e alleles like Extended Black(for example Barred Rocks) the females have a headspot, but its maller than the males in the Allele ER birchen(for example Golden Cuckoo Marans) the females have a headspot aswell but its smaller and the Males are alot lighter than females, their chick down is affected by double dose of Barring. in the Allele of eb(crele Penedesenca, Wybars) the females also have a small headspot but they are dark brown and Males have a larger undefined heaspot and are much lighter than females... check my Thread on this subject...examples with pics.. take a look at the Golden cuckoo maran chicks http://www.the-coop.org/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=105920&page=all
