    Spiral (clan) Linebreeding

    So spiral breeding is a pretty simple technique to keep a wide diversity in a flock with a slower progression of desired traits than from other linebreeding programs. A single pair linebreeding program is a great way to keep a line going for 4 generations off a single pair before adding new...

    Naked Neck Silkie Cross

    I have a Cock that came from a Naked Neck Mom & a Silkie Dad. He was born with neck feathers instead of without. If I bred him to a Silkie Hen, would any of the chicks from that be born without neck feathers or would all of those chicks have neck feathers like him? Pic is of him:

    Frizzle Cochin genetics question??

    I have a few “barnyard mix” chickens and I’m wondering about my girl Ms. Frizzle and thought I’d ask to gain a better understanding of the frizzle gene. Her mother was a blue Cochin and there are several possible fathers. The mom was a normal smooth feathered Cochin. If I understand the...

    Color Genetics

    Hi everyone, Forgive me if this is one of those eye roll questions. I’ve tried to use the genetic calculator and since I’m not a rocket scientist, can someone tell me what colors I might expect out of the chicks from a yellow roo mixed with light gray hen? (I know about the frizzle/smooth...

    Results of buff orp rooster over lav orp hen?

    I'm new to chicken genetics and trying to learn. I'm curious about an unusual pairing. We received 4 Orpington eggs from a friend from a buff Orpington rooster over a lavender Orpington hen. I believe the hen was cuckoo barred. I say "I believe" because I can't quite confirm it from the photos I...

    Do you think this pullet is Mille Fleur?

    I have a Rooster that is Columbian as his base with a lot of black mottling and the occasional white tipped feather. He’s 1/4 OEGB and half Sablepoot and most likely is a low expression Mille Fleur (waiting for his first molt to see if more white tips come out). I have another rooster split to...

    Correct Order for Specific Genetics in Breeding

    With all the research I’ve been doing, I’ve seen a lot about how to breed for certain genetic traits in a breed, line, and/or strain. I’ve read about how specific genes are dominant, recessive, etc. and what that means when two different chickens get together. I’ve played around with an online...

    Silkie feathering

    Hi, I bought some silkie chicks and most of them have hard feathering. I'm planning to breed the hard feathered ones with the chicks with the correct feathers. How many generations I'd need to breed before all the chicks I hatch have the fluffy Silkie feathering?

    Female specific color

    If I've misread something and misunderstood, I'll definitely take the points and giggles. I feel like I've read somewhere that there's a female specific feather pattern that isn't sex-linked. My attempts to Google only bring up sex-linked birds. My brain says it's some kind of wild-type or...
