Thank you for taking the time to explain it,I find this very interesting! It's good to know! Maybe I will incubate another one of her eggs,and see if there's a difference in gender. Now I am intrigued.
Again thank you for educating me
This may be a difficult question to answer, but how can you tell if she has silver? In real life, she has soft barring and appears nearly identical to a barred rock in pattern. Is silver found appearing as a gray in the white feathers?
Thank you, I thought that barring was dominant/ a sex linked trait. I was trying to test my hand at it, haha. When this guy hatched I got VERY confused.
Back to the books/drawing table lol
I bred a brown leghorn to a Barred EE, and the chick came out a light colored wildtype? What happened?
I really didn't expect this? I thought the chicks would exhibit faint barring, or be all yellow?
