    Genetics of Salmon Faverolles

    There is always somebody that thinks that the world is against them. I can't fix that. My "honest" intention was to help anyone that was interested in seeing my Seney breed by adding those pages to my regular non-poultry website. There was no way that I was going to spend money posting old...

    The Sussex thread!

    Good call. Years ago I did research on chicken temperament. It can be environmental or genetic, but mostly genetic. I raised a ton of roosters and my kids had chicken chores. I absolutely could not have roosters spurring my kids. To cull for temperament requires a focus on doing so. Firstly...

    Creating a new breed or breed color... I know this had been asked before!

    You are very much welcomed. Good luck with your projects.

    Lavender Wyandottes-Frayed Tails?

    You can save the money for testing. The fray gene acts the same on other extended locus alleles. I know from experience. Edited by Staff

    Genetics of Salmon Faverolles

    I have no reference material. If you will note my post, I stated that there had been a "discussion" years ago regarding the subject of the two named traits. I personally never tried to test breed to make an argument either way. My intention was to make aware of a discussion that occurred years...

    Creating a new breed or breed color... I know this had been asked before!

    First, don't let anyone tell you not to create a new breed. You will learn more than any A.P.A. member ever will in the process. You CAN create a new breed. Will it be accepted by the A.P.A.? Highly doubtful. But that does not need to be your goal. Fact is, if I had a really good bird, I...

    Lavender Wyandottes-Frayed Tails?

    Good luck splitting the fray gene out. Even crossing out to black will probably not do it. If it were that simple there would no longer be any fraying in lavenders. Frankly, I do not know if anyone has correctly determined if there really is a fray allele or if the lavender gene is responsible...

    Genetics of Salmon Faverolles

    If I remember correctly, from many discussions years ago, it was possible that the Mahogany allele and the autosomal red may have been the same allele, but named differently by different researchers. Regardless, something is needed to get the red shoulders. What most people do not know is that...

    Can someone please Help me!!! Porcelain Sizzle Genetics???

    I have created Porcelain from scratch in a standard size fancy chicken in the Seney breed several years ago. It is not for the faint at heart or random breeder if you do it the hard way. There are many modifiers at work to get the color right. The simple genotype is to get a bird that is colored...

    Ameracaunas Breeding

    It all depends. Just because the rooster is an Ameraucana does not mean that it has the blue gene for eggs. Next, it would be good to know if that loci is homozygous blue or heterozygous blue. If homozygous, then he will pass the gene to all his chicks, if not, then only half will get it. Having...

    Seney Breed chicken website resurrected

    This post may be a duplicate of a reply post to a previous thread, however, the post reply form kept disappearing before being submitted and the preview kept erasing the text. If there are duplicates or the other posts appear incomplete, it certainly was not intentional. Onward... After many...

    Seney breed - they were real!

    Hello Meghan, Thank you for your interest in the Seney breed. I am more than happy to address your questions. I have not had any contact with the people that took my birds in over a year. The last I heard was they were planning to hatch some this year. I looked over some chicks that they...

    Seney breed - they were real!

    Hello all, I am the original creator of the Seney breed that was mentioned on this board some time ago. I ran a website for the breed for several years. A thread surfaced in 2012 that was a bit controversial. Many did not believe that they were a breed or I didn’t spend a good part of my life...
