That bird isn't crele.

Yes bred a cuckoo rooster to partridge hen. If he is double barred all chicks will be barred. If he is single barred 1/2 the chicks will be barred. All chicks will carry extended black and partridge. They will look black not partridge. You cant bred pullets back to rooster. He has no partridge...

Read back through this thread and let me know if you got the barring gene figured out how it works and how it is sex linked.

No thats wrong. In that pairing only the hen is barred. She will pass that to the cockerels but not to the pullets. Barring and cuckoo is sex linked. Pullets can only get barring from their fathers and that rooster isnt barred. You will end up breeding non barred pullets to a non barred rooster...

Still dealing with all chicks being black in first generation because of the cuckoo hen being extended black based. Barring or cuckoo would work the same way as barring does. All chicks would be barred because both parents carry barring.

No. A partridge hen is partridge based. A cuckoo rooster is extended black based. Extended black is dominate to partridge so all chicks would have one partridge gene and one extended black gene. They would show extended black. All chicks would be cuckoo if the rooster carries two cuckoo genes...

I started with a trio from a breeder out of southern missouri. They used to be a showable color but guess that changed so I was able to talk him out of them. I did get some from welp hatchery (which are privetts and ships from privett) They were junk. Way too heavy bodied and more then half had...

Youre correct but double barred roosters can vary quite a bit in how light they get. For a newbie a darker double barred may be mistaken for a single barred. Chances are they could get it right but test breeding will leave no doubt. And for test breeding you can use a barred female which will...

Its not that its either a single barred gene or a double barred gene. Its just the barred gene and whether or not he has one gene or two genes for barring. The gene takes the color away in sections or bars. If he has two copies it takes pretty much twice as much color away so a double barred...
