    Feather Sexing Baby Chicks Help!

    It doesn't work on any pure breeds as far as I know. Certain crosses like california wites are created just so the hatchery can feather sex the chicks. this explains it: https://blog.cacklehatchery.com/what-is-feather-sexing-separating-fact-from-myth/

    The Wyandotte Thread

    Those cockerels are what you would expect from the SLW over RIR. except for the single combs.... but a lot of SLW are not pure for the rose comb gene. roosters that have one gene for rose comb and one for single are thought to be more fertile than those which are pure for the trait.

    The Wyandotte Thread

    Silver Columbian is the color. They need pattern gene Pg and Melonotic Ml to be laced They don't look like they have that. They don't have rose combs. Are you sure of their parentage? I had some Red broiler over SLW that looked something like that, but they had wyandotte rose combs.

    I think you will find that silver/gold is sexlinked. With a silver rooster (SS) over red hens(s-), hen offspring will be what their father is(S-). Roosters will be "golden" Being heterogeneous (Ss)

    Sex- linked Information

    According to the chicken calculator, RIR's & NH's DO have the columbian gene. Your white hens could be white Plymouth Rocks which are usually barred silver under recessive white, but since you can never tell what the white is hiding, maybe, genetically they are barred silver columbian. Still, I...

    Araucana laying brown eggs???

    There is a very strong tendency (like 95%) for the pea comb and blue egg genes to be inherited together because they ar very close on the same chromosome. But once in a while it crosses over. There are of course, breeds with single combs that lay blue eggs and many pea comb breeds that don't...

    The African and Chinese goose thread!!

    It looks like our Brown Chinese...Goose, but how old is (she?)? It's easy to tell the sexes apart (in mature birds) by their voices: Gander is high pitched.

    Mixed breeds

    Could just be that both parents carry recessive white. I have gotten barred offspring from white rock hens bred to another breed. They would look like a barred rock but would, of course, carry the recessive white gene and be capable of producing white chicks with other carriers.

    Is this a silver laced Wyandotte?

    Hatchery SLW's usually include a small percentage with single, rather than rose combs and some with incomplete, or smutty lacing. The hatcheries care more about egg production and fertility than proper type.
