Aloha Chicken7777,
Where do you live? Hopefully you can find some close to you. I do know that Duluthralphie is a long time breeder so hopefully youʻre close by.
Good luck, Puhi
Similar for shank color.
The male will receive yellow shank from Mom and black shank from Dad, so gray.
The female will receive only black from Dad, so her legs should be black.
Feathering is sparse.
Is that correct?
Thanks, Puhi
Aloha kākou,
I am trying to work out the genetics via Punnet Square but cannot do it here. But please help me out on this:
A BCM rooster has two Z chromosomes and both have the recessive gene for non-barring. is b, b for barring. Also EE for black coloring.
A female Cream Legbar has barring...
It might work the other way around. Cemani Roo over barred CL hen. Male chicks will have white spot on head and yellow shanks. Female will be pure black with dark shanks. I think.
Aloha,
Come on Debi, no need to be humble. We know who you are. You have been raising beautiful Araucanas for many years. I wish I could have bought your eggs years ago. Thatʻs how it goes I guess.
Nice to have you on this thread!
Aloha, Puhi
The second possibility could be a BCM male over a Barred Rock female(which is what I have). I donʻt really want to do this because egg color would be compromised too much.
First generation:
B -
b Bb b
b Bb b
Then breed this heterozygous...
Aloha kākou,
I was thinking about creating a Barred Marans. So I have questions about the genetics. I donʻt know how to make Punnet Squares here but Iʻll see what I can do.
So the first possible cross could be a Barred Rock Roo over a BCM hen:
b -
B Bb B
B...
Aloha Sol2go,
Haha, I check this site about once a month. Iʻll check soon for your reply. :)
I live on the island of Oʻahu. I breed Cream Legbars, true Araucanas, White and Black Copper Marans and Silver Cuckoo Leghorns. Let me know if I can help out in any way.
Aloha, Puhi
