Ive read a bunch of posts on welbars, BSL, and phenotypes all over the place. I'm not unfamiliar with punnett squares but struggling to figure out my (NON welbar) hybrid possibilities for phenotypes (I only hatched 2 eggs and want to know what other phenotypic characteristics could have popped up if I hatched more eggs.
I crossed: Welsummer Roo X BR hen. I only incubated one egg and it was a cockerel. This should be a BSL Roo, correct?
Instead of crossing the BSL Roo with a Welsummer to begin the process to get pure welbars(I may be entirely wrong there), I crossed the BSL roo with a different younger BR hen and hatched 2 eggs. One is all black with black beak and legs. The other is barred with yellow feet and legs. Are these 2 chicks still sex linked (I think so?) And a deeper question for genetics nerds, what phenotypes would this hybrid (not a breed) create? Also, am I correct in assuming the barred chick is a cockerel(mother passed barring genes to sons) and the black chick is a pullet?
