technically. 4 dis the two "duds" were devolped but only a couple weeks.
and the other two. the bantam had a severly defirmed foot and the serama had extremely short legs. dont short legged birds carry the lethal gene?

Any that carry two genes for short leg will die in shell.

 

[EZFarms]

so prolly the three that died carried it? I bred long legged x shprt legged

short legs is creeper gene not lethal gene....

 

[EZFarms]

ive always read that birds that have shprt legs carry the lethal gene

 

[artsyrobin]

short legs is creeper gene not lethal gene....

what is a creeper gene?

this guy came from the parents below

 

[bobby317]

creeper is when their legs are very short and wings get in the way.they tend to waddle when walking

 

[bobby317]

lethal is when they die for no apparent reason at any age even in the shell
