Ahhh that is a very good point......
so unless the father (or mother) of all the hens and the rooster was scaleless it is possible that some of the hens or the rooster, even if they have black skin, may not carry the gene at all?
Hopefully Banjo will be able to clarify this a bit more
First, he will have to clairfy if all the hens he is using have the scaless gene for sure. Are they what you would call "split" for the scaless gene?
Second, if the Roo isn't split, then few offspring would have the gene, correct? 1/4 maybe? We might need to mosey down to the breeders/genetics board. Thats why I am reluctant to bid on so few eggs, it seems like I am unlikely to get any scaless gene chicks, and I would want 2 or more, ideally. Hummmm.... Banjojoe? Help! LOL
