Yay! Did it tell you whether they have the rosecomb gene?And the results!
Lab-ID S# Legband# animal IL 2 genotype 20222285 1 1 GW 20222286 2 5 WW 20222287 3 7 GW 20222288 4 22 GW 20222289 5 23 WW 20222290 6 24 GG 20222291 7 26 WW 20222292 8 29 GG 20222293 9 30 GG 20222294 10 33 WW 20222295 11 84 WW 20222296 12 85 GW 20222297 13 86 WW
G = geen (blue) eggshell allele
W = wild type allele
As you can see above roosters 24, 29, and 30 are GG which means I have 3 homozygous blue egg roosters to breed from. More important, I can get rid of roosters 5, 23, 26, 33, 84, and 86 which do not have a blue egg gene! Talk about putting my breeding program on steroids.......
Can you tell me more about where you found this information about the limited productivity gene and where I can read up on it? I raise 4 varieties of legbars and have never encountered it. They lay better than my purebred leghorns almost without fail!Legbars carry a recessive gene that limits egg production potential (1 in 10 chance of a low egg producer) plus they mostly lay green eggs and I wanted blue eggs.
