That’s a good point. I never would of though to use recessive white. Though I personally don’t like working with recessive genes so I probably would of went the easy route.
Working with Recessive White takes just as as many generations to fix pure white coloring as dominant white, if not less. Imo. Dominant white does give paints in the first generation but paint to paint produces just as many homozygous whites as Recessive White carrier to Recessive White carrier.
It also helps preserve the dark legs I think. At lest that's why they do this in Ameraucana.
I heard this as well. Though I've also heard it doesn't actually matter so I'm just confused about that now.
I agree because I have Chamois Spitzhauben and there is no issues with good slate colored leggs.
My base birds were leghorn mix hens with ayam cemani rooster. I'm considering using white rocks (recessive white, right?)
The person I'm working with on them doesnt care about doing multi-gen crosses, which you would need to do if you're using a recessive white bird. I, on the other hand, want to make a zombie that breeds true, first in color, then in body-type
Yeah the person I am working with doesn't care about getting pure-white feathered birds (she has a really big chicken business around here, so she is very business minded. She says people will just buy the f1s with leakage and not care Abt the pure-white feathered birds, so she doesn't care either
Recessive is what I'm coming up with in research. It does state this might depend on the line of the white rock.
