Cross breeds and Rose Combs

[lyndon]

Sorry. Another couple of bothersome newbie genetics questions.

If I mate gray or white skin to yellow, which prevails on the offspring?

And if I mate straight combs with rose combs, what will I end up with?

Thanks in advance for your expertise.

Rose combs are dominate.

Don't know what you're trying to accomplish.

Rose comb is dominant
Single comb is reccesive
Pretty easy to eliminate rose combs, hard to eliminate single combs

White skin is dominant
yellow skin is recessive

That helps. Thanks!

Fibromelanotic skin (black/grey) is also dominant, but a separate gene, so you would end up willow skin if you bred a bird with black skin to one with yellow skin
