Hmm, if I can't tell easily if they are single barred it may not work out after all. I guess I'll have to find out the hard way. ;) Thank you for the photos!
I'm fully aware of how lavender, the barring gene, and sex linking works. I just need to know if lavender barred chicks are distinguishable from solid lavender chicks.
I did some snooping and found her project thread. Looks promising, thank you!
I'm working through a plan for a project to attempt to create lavender sex links. Can anyone tell me if barring on lavender is visible enough to differentiate solid chicks from barred chicks at a reasonably young age? I'm concerned that the dilution via lavender will make the barring difficult...
