The Silkie is too young to even try to guess at. Post again once over 8 weeks of age.Anyone have an idea about the silkie I posted?
Yeah, sorry. The quote didn't post I guess.@junebuggena were you referring to Bristol when you posted "pullet" at the top of this page?
I had the exact opposite with my last hatch. 4 cockerels and only 1 pullet.@junebuggena, I suspected you were referring to Bristol. Thanks for your expert opinion!
It's almost amazing that I ended up with 4 pullets and 1 cockerel this hatch!
That's an unusual proportion for me! Now, as I continue "nesting" I'll return to genetics info links to see how I want to best bring out the qualities I will have hatching next spring!
Thanks again @junebuggena for your always reliable help!
That's what happened on my first ever hatch, 4 cockerels and one pullet. I was a bit confused wondering if that's how it was going to go each time...I had the exact opposite with my last hatch. 4 cockerels and only 1 pullet.
Both the rose comb and the barring of the Dominique are dominant.
No. For sexlinking to work, the barring has to be on the hen's side of the equation, not the rooster's. A barred rooster will pass a copy to all of his offspring, regardless of gender. The lack of the head spot means that the Dominique is not the father of that particular chick.Awesome! Thanks! So the lack of a spot on the head means female as well! Correct?
