Hi folks! I am new to Sebrights and love to play with genetics, so I am looking into getting some silvers and golds both. I found 2 Goldens in the Tractor Supply brood last week and have been bitten by the Sebright bug. lol
My question to you folks.....I have been on the Chicken Calculator tinkering around trying to get citron. I must be missing something, but I can only seem to get citron males in my attempts. I have tried Silver over Gold = males only split to gold. I tried Gold over Silver and still get only males split to gold. How do you get hens??? I rebred the citron males back to mom and then tried back to the other color and can only get males. I love the citron color and would love to breed my own...I am bull headed that way. I love genetics and have bred both chickens and cockatiels for years. I find it amazing. But I just can't seem to understand how to get a citron hen to breed to these males. Any help would be awesome. Thx!
