    Have I got sex link chicks? Pic. Warren crossed gold laced

    ...or the yellow chicks are inheriting one copy of dominant white from the Warren (white tailed buff: similar to ISA brown) parent

    Any further updates on the status of The Coop? (Henk?)...I'm hoping that whatever is ailing it, is not terminal!

    Jungle fowl and BB Red

    Well - at least this is something that the "genetic heretics" (amongst which I count myself) believe - the rest of the world are converts to the "there's only one wheaten that behaves either as a dominant or recessive in the absence/presence of melanisers" school of thought. Cheers, htul

    Dominance of wheaten ... (revived)

    A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... (well, 19/5/09 over at The Coop,to be precise! ;) ) A question that has troubled me slightly of late, but: Seemingly wheaten marans X welsummer should fit the bill! : http://www.poultrymatters.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1306&start=20 (from a local...

    OT : the coop.org website

    I get the same - though at least now I'm able to access past messages (which I have previously been unable to do). Cheers, htul

    Buckeye X Cornish X breeding project. Third generation pics pg. 20

    . Quote: I would agree that they will most probably all be white with pea combs - regardless of whether the Cornish X are silver or gold based, the offspring are likely to be white (maybe with some red 'leakage' in the hackle and saddle area (from what I've encountered, they most commonly seem...

    Ok.. so I'm not buying the whole.... Updated with pics...breeding hens

    Quote: I definitely agree with that. Quote: The kind of project that you've outlined and also that uhuh555 does appeal to me - and I plan on dabbling in this kind of thing myself. Over here the only meat chicks that we can (relatively) easily get a hold of are the Cobbs - we don't...

    Ok.. so I'm not buying the whole.... Updated with pics...breeding hens

    Thanks for the detailed info Jeff - it has been very interesting. On the whole, I would agree with many of those observations - however, a particular point that I'm not too sure about is: Quote: While the complex line structure in part is for commercial product protection, I think the...

    Ok.. so I'm not buying the whole.... Updated with pics...breeding hens

    Great post - I have working my way through this with interest. I've had an interest in some of the issues that have been discussed in this for some time but have found it a bit of a challenge trying to find info about the growth rate potential of the dam lines (which I would consider to be the...

    White skinned broilers? Dumb question need answer!

    Hi, While skin colour (white vs yellow) is under genetic control - yellow skin requiring two recessive genes (ww) - I believe that genetically yellow-skinned birds can also be made to produce white skinned broilers via influence of the diet (though the reverse is not possible). Here, in...

    Hello from Sydney, Australia

    Hi, Just a quick introduction - I'm located in Sydney, Australia, and though I've previously come across this site before with its wealth of info, I've not joined until now. I particularly have an interest in poultry breeding and genetics and look forward to interesting discussions on poultry...
