    Cayuga duck color genetics question.

    Do any of you know of any resources on Cayuga genetics, specifically color genetics. I found a post a few weeks ago that talked about needing to select for more than just one gene in order to get really colorful birds but I can't find it now.

    Questions about "purebred"

    I bought some barred rocks from a hatchery. I'm interested in having them for my own food but also to help maintain a valuable heritage breed into the future. I'm hatching extra chicks to sell into the local area and I'm wondering what "pure breed" means exactly. I obviously do not have show...

    Hello! 😄 I’m planning on working on a line of red silkies. It seems like there is a lot of confusion out there on the red/buff genetics, so I’m HOPING (🙏🏼🙏🏼) someone can shed some more light on how it actually works. My limited understanding is that buff genes have red diluters and red genes...

    Genetics, This Is A Project. What Color Rooster Should I Pair This Hen With?

    So this is a project that I’m working on. I’ve got this beautiful Pencil Laced Satin hen and I’m trying to decide which color rooster would best compliment her color? I would like to produce more of her color pattern. I had one person tell me to pair her with a gray rooster. Thoughts?

    How would you go about breeding autosexing into a breed that doesn't have it?

    I'm trying to learn about what causes autosexing and how you would go about breeding it into a breed that doesn't have it. What colors does it work on? How many generations would it take to breed it in? Is there a specific gene that causes it or is it multiple things combined? Where I live the...

    Will their chicks be sexlinked? Will they be sexlinked by skin color?

    I have a cuckoo silkie hen with light skin and a dominant white silkie roo with dark skin. I know that cuckoo female x non-cuckoo male results in non-cuckoo females and cuckoo males. That would be fine if I bred my hen to a black rooster. But I only have a dominant white rooster. I'm wondering...

    White Silkie Genetics?

    I know most silkies are recessive white. however, say I have a black pen and a white pen - can I switch the roosters to see what colors are behind each white, or would there be a better color than black to use?
