How do I prove the lineage of a chicken?

Hello and Welcome To BYC! You might want to check out the Genetics/Breeding forum https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/16188/exhibition-genetics-breeding-to-the-standard-of-perfection It depends on what you mean by "prove" if you want to know if a certain rooster and hen are the parents of a certain chick you could do parentage testing via DNA. If you are talking about like when people lay their lines are such and such... you can't really "prove" that, you have to go by the word of the individual, so how honest they are, how good their record keeping and paperwork is, how well they identify and separate their birds for breeding and sales etc etc etc all would come into play.

Thank you. I was looking to start breeding and I Have what I was told are some Berg Muffs. I was trying to find out if what I had been told about them were true before I started. I DO NOT want to get started and give people false information because I did not do my due diligence.

sorry I don't know and have never heard of that line or breed. Chickens don't come with pedigrees,so you have to believe the seller is telling the truth.
