    Not really "breed true", that more or less just means that the progeny will be the same breed and variety as the parents. Basically what I'm looking for means that the offspring will be similar in all aspects. LOL...I do not like the word, it is hard to remember....but I'm old, so breakfast is...

    Which is how it should be. Sex linked barring (Cuckoo Barring), is carried on the male chromosome. If the Rooster is "Double Barred", meaning he has 2 copies of the barring gene one on each chromosome, then all offspring will have a copy of the barring gene from him and should show at least some...

    I believe the problem you are having is that in your line you only have the splash gene on the male chromosome. This type of thing can happen with line breeding where a typically non sex-linked recessive trait can become sex-linked in a manner of speaking. If all if your splash genes were...
