Barring genetics

[Smileybans]

Sounds like a cochin mix, then. That explains why he’s single barred and impure for (extended) black.

If the chicks do come out black with the white head dot are they still sex linked? I know the white dot isn’t a sure fire way to tell but it sounds like they wouldn’t be.

No. He’ll pass on the barring gene to 50% of his offspring, both males and females.

I took pictures while it was feeding time this morning. I didn’t want to forget. So these aren’t the best photos of the chick but I wanted to get a side by side of the frizzle chick and ones I was sure were Fuzzys. Now I’m not so sure who is the father of who.

Any frizzled chicks would be from the cochin. For the others, you’ll have to wait and see.

Why People keeps forgetting the corect genetic nomenclature? the + sign is to distinguish the wildtype gene, Capital letter for dominant gene and forward slash to separate between them, for example B/b+

I tend to not use it unless I'm talking genetics with other genetics people, I don't wanna confuse people who aren't familiar with genetics with extra stuff : D

can I get y'all's opinions on if my chicks have barred genes?
Their grandpa was a Crele EExWyandotte mix and their Grandmas were either a white Ameracauna (with blue in there), or, a white with red leakage EE.

My white Ameracauna has unfortunately passed, and I recently sold the White w Leakage.

Their moms are my current hens, so EExWyandotte mixes, and the offspring are the mixes with a BLRW from another flock.

Family Tree Line
Crele EExWyandotte x White/White w Red Leakage EEs > BLRW x EExWyandotte > Hatchlings now

Would y'all care if I uploaded images of the hens and the most recent images of the babies I have? I'm curious what y'all think of their colors and their genetic expression because I'm super uneducated and want to learn.

Sure. Go for it. I’d like to see and know too.

For the chicks that aren’t frizzled but look like the frizzled one, is there a way of telling who the father is by just looking at them? Will they resemble either cockerel when they grow up?

I don’t think I can assume any with a pea comb would be from my EE because my OE hens have pea combs. So they would pass that to the offspring. What about size? Since my frizzle cockerel is a bantam how big will his offspring be if the hens are standard size?

Thank you!

Here are my current flock members and parents to my chicks. Crele x White EE's gave me really interesting babies. The black hen is not from that mix and is a mystery mutt I hatched the year before from my past flock.



They have barred segments on their wings but I have no idea if that's actual barring or if it's just their juvenile feather patterns. I managed to get one almost solid black chick. Their toe tips are about the only things not black on them.
