Curious how many genes for color and pattern a chicken can hold recessively? I was under the impression that it was only one, meaning it has two copies but one shows and one is recessive. But if a recessive white has to have two copies of re white but can still pass other colors recessively then...

Do you think maybe you just hatched a smaller percentage of the black hens eggs? Or maybe none at all?

Where I wasn't quite understanding was in this particular case it seemed like a lot splash chicks were showing up , and everyone was saying that was properly because someone was splash recessively. My confusion is on why no blues? Wouldn't splash produce blue and maybe black too and not just...

I thought blue and splash were essentially the same gene and that you could get splash chicks from a blue parent and blue from a splash because it's a dilution gene. At least that's how I thought it worked for breeding BBs to each other. If the other parent isn't BBS does that change things?

Me too- I've seen what appeared to be barring on first feathers and when they molted and grew adult feathers they were not barred at all 🐤

Are you not supposed to breed frizzle to frizzle? New to this

Is it stargazing or is it just walking on it hocks?

Curious how you like the sand (know it's way off topic, 😔) and what state your in mainly to know what kind of weather you deal with? I'm in TN and considering switching to sand
