Creating Crele Colored Chickens

[MysteryChicken]

Yep, my little chick is a pullet, her wing feathers are growing in unevenly.

The chick is starting to get buff coloring within grey. Will update at week 2.

Look forward to more pics

Will post more on Thursday. Have any questions?

No questions but a comment.
You should look into wing feather sexing more because it doesn't work on all chicks. It is only accurate on chicks specifically bred for it.

I can wing sex the breeds that aren't bred for it, such as Buff Orpingtons, Black Australorps, & Silkies.

That was exactly the response I expected.
Wing feather sexing is a sex linked trait. If not bred correctly to express it it simply isn't there but there's always people that are smarter then the genetics support.

I will be incubating a brand new batch of eggs that I've ordered from EBay soon. Would you like me to post the males, and females I get out of my hatch?

 

[The Moonshiner]

Ya you can if you want.
I'd be more interested in hearing your knowledge of the genetics behind how and why wing feather sexing works exactly.

Okay. My lil' peep is getting buff coloring within her grey feathers.
