Same barring gene . So yes . Barring can be with many different colors . The only other barring is like in Campine . That kind is not sex linked and will not work .
Let me see if can make it clearer . What it means is you can use a red rooster over black barred hens like barred rocks . Barred rocks are black with the barring gene added . You can not have dominant white in the rooster because it turns black to white . You can not see the white head spot on a...
All chicks will be barred if the rooster has 2 barring genes . All chicks will have blue or black from the mother . Blue is a dilution of black . Your blue hens is black first and 1 copy of blue makes her look blue . Technically sex linked for gold . A poor choice for good sexing but should work...
Any chick that shows buff or a muddy chocolate color in the down will be female . May not be very dependable results as all females may not No barring involved in these .
show this . It has been awhile since I hatched a cross like this and at the time I did not realize they were sexable . Here...
I think you were misinformed . A barred rooster with 2 barring genes will produce single barred chicks with a non barred hen . So no way to tell single barred males from the normal hemizygous female chicks . As for the buff ( gold ) it is sex linked and only the females will inherit the gold...
Here are some lavender chicks with barring . This is a photo I had on file . I don't remember if these were sex links . You can see the head spot on these . Blue is darker so you should be able to sex them .
No coincidence . Gold (buff) and silver are sex linked so the females inherit gold from the rooster and the males get gold from the rooster and silver from the hen making them lighter in the face . So the barred hens must be based on silver under the black .
Black combs do show up in other breeds . Usually referred to as mulberry comb or gypsy face . I have seen it in Old English Games and other breeds . Not sure how it is inherited .
The white is silver not really white . Silver is sex linked . So all female offspring are hemizygous for silver and barring . The male offspring have one copy of silver and barring . Silver and barring are separate genes . Barring interrupts black as the feather grows leaving no pigment . This...
No as neither type of white is sex linked . I think for feather sexing to be accurate you must breed 2 separate lines and cross them . Interested in how accurate this is .
Let me retract the part about buff pullets . Running from memory again . All the white chicks will have 1 copy of red/gold . So no difference . That works if silver is involved .
Ok the picture helps ! That buff rooster has a white tail . That tells me he carries dominant white . He is not pure buff . Dominant white works better to remove black than red . So you have a small lot with skewed percentages . So without dominant white all chicks would be black or mostly...
Slate legs are sex linked . So yes if the rooster has slate or green legs the pullets will have them also and cockerels no . Green legs are a layer of slate skin and a layer of yellow skin . I just read your post again . The hens having green legs will make this unreliable .
Cream is not sex linked . Silver is sex linked . So wrong combo for red sex link . However you have sex linked barring in cream Legbar . So you would be able to tell the males by the white head spot . The hens must be barred and the rooster not barred . Which is what you have in that cross .
sonew123 No help for that mix . All received a barring gene from the CCL rooster . The CCL x Cuckoo cross will have double barred males . They should have large head spots . The rest are all single barred and can not be sexed at hatch .
