➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

Or something.
Sex links hurt my brain. Ignore me, I evidently need my coffee, I'm sure they've worked it out

Zack posted a video...it’s been awhile since I watched it. I just remember that it only works for 1 generation as chicks are opposite the parents and this was the cross can be done with different colors, this color cross is easiest to differentiate.

Yeah, that's how sex links work in chickens, too. A shame no one's found autosexing quail.

The more I try to research the genetics, the more it hurts my brain too!! I think I will stick with shipped eggs or I wonder what colors I’ll get fro these pretty colors methods!

Without having seen it, I'm pretty sure it would be pharoah male x roux female, giving you the opposite of the parents as you said.

Roux male x pharoah female would give you all pharoah, while breeding to a carrier female would give you a mix of each type in both genders.

I have a roux male I don't *love*, but he's consistently producing offspring better than himself, including roux hens I can use for autosexing crosses, so he may have earned a reprieve.

Hubby helped me move the babies around yesterday and he asked me if I knew all my chicks had yellow heads??? “Yes honey.....they are all ssc and will have yellow heads until they finish feathering out” ........they do look kinda funny at this age though in his defense! Hahaha

I did get it backwards apparently, but that makes 0 sense. Wish he'd talked more about genotypes! Starting to think their Egyptians are a totally different gene. Does not make sense if it's actually a recessive.

If you look at it in the context of a dominant sex-linked gene it does make sense, since he is saying carrier females with only 1 copy of the gene will express it (not true with recessives). So idk. Maybe it is not roux dilute! There are a lot of friggin genes

Yes it does get very confusing! Hubby just realized at 4 hours into our drive that neither of us put the fishing poles in the truck This is going to be a fun trip!!

Nooo!!!!!! Rent some if you're able. Stupid feeling but not worth missing a good spot!

Muddy what have you done! I just settled on clearing out most of my extra bins and not experimenting with every color I have and now I am like "maybe mine aren't recessive either and are just a totally similar looking gene, it would explain that pullet that popped up" and have to go set up pairs for testing.
