Discussing details of mottled chicken genetics

[MysteryChicken]

That’s interesting. Does that gene show up on gold chickens and hens?

I think silver, but I'll have to look back.

I'm not sure, yet. Just need to do some experimentation. Who knows, could possibly end up being something gender related, like sex linking.

If that’s the case, it should still theoretically be able to show up on hens, right? Unless I’m missing something. And, of course, it should show up on birds with gold too.

They didn't specify what color.

We'll find out.

It could be possible to show up on hens.

The results will be neat either way. EE x d’uccle crosses sound cute.

Yep.

I'll order some small Pipettes for the AI, so I can do this experiment.


Should I breed Bigfoot to anyone? I have lots of hens.

Well, Bigfoot has silver and is generally mixed, so it would be hard to figure out the genetics of his offspring. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t breed him for fun, if you want to.

Okay. He's gold split for silver.

Pipettes are ordered, & should be delivered on the 21st.

I forgot to mention that we are keeping the Mille Fleur D'uccles, they're the old ladies, & only 1 is still laying. They turned 6 this year.
