I had thought it looked like a straight comb up until today when I looked closer. It looks exactly like a pea comb. The chick is also enormous compared to the other chicks which I thought was related to the Brahma being the mom (could also be because it’s male but I don’t know yet if that’s the...

That’s why I said two versions that “produce barring.” From my understanding, the third is linked to barring but has an unknown affect, or isn’t easily visible to the eye 🤷🏻‍♀️ this is a bit behind my scope.

Here are the latest pictures of the barred chick.

I can try to but it won’t be until later tomorrow at least.

I feel conflicted 🤯

I have gone down the rabbit hole of attempting to understand the barring gene. From my understanding the barring gene occurs on the male chromosome (Z). So a male can carry it on both chromosome (Zz) or carry it on one. The hitch is, there are two versions (alleles) of the barring gene (B1 and...

I edited my last comment to include this thought but am not sure if you saw it: White rooster and barred hen wouldn’t be possible because the chick has feathered feet. And if the Maran and the barred rock were the parents, the chick would have a single comb. Right? So wouldn’t that mean the...

So by that logic, the rooster would contain the rose comb gene, and if Brahma was the mom, the chick should have had a walnut comb? But if the barred rock hen was the mom and the white rooster was the dad, it would rose? Edit: but that wouldn’t be possible, white rooster and barred hen, because...

Do you mean the white rooster could be part EE? I only have those two roosters, no EE Roos.

I just wasn’t sure if it was a pea comb, but my gut keeps telling me it’s the Brahma and white rooster. I wanted the Brahma to be the mom though, so I am biased.

I have no Dominiques, only the one barred rock. Two buff brahmas, three easter eggers (all with pea combs I think it’s called). I thought the comb looked like a single comb just by comparing it to it’s siblings which all had EEs for mom and all appear to be rose or pea combs on the chicks. I...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-linked_barring What do you think about the odds of the rooster having barring in his genetics? “Females or male chickens carrying the B2 allele in the heterozygous condition show a defined barring pattern but in the homozygous condition, males are essentially...

I am reading this wiki article that says males can carry the barred gene but be essentially white with very little pigmentations. He has some front splashes of dark pigment on his tail feathers and maybe one other place on his body. 🤔 I’ve been feeling very strongly that the Brahma was the mom...

I have barnyard mix chick, maybe five weeks old, that appears to be developed barred feathers, but it also has feathered feet. At the time the eggs were fertilized, the rooster I believe was a white barnyard mix with no feathers feed who was 14 weeks old at that time. I had only one other...
