I am considering doing an excperement for a special project for an Animal Science Class. I have the birds to do it on Frizzles and I was wondering if it was a pointless study.
My Plan:
-Put a Frizzle Rooster over a Smooth Hen
- Record Chicks that develop Frizzle feathering
-Put a Smooth Rooster over a Frizzle Hen
- Record Chicks that develop Frizzle feathering
See which combination produces more frizzles and if there is a difference.
I am aware that on average 3/4 of the chick will develop frizzle while the remaining 1/4 will have smooth feathering. I am just curious if it makes a difference which parent is frizzled and which is not.
Any input would be great!
