Hey there!
I am working on breeding Favaucana (Ameraucana x Salmon Faverolle)
Previously I have used a Salmon Faverolle Rooster over Ameraucana hens but this year am experimenting with a Chocolate mottled Ameraucana rooster over Salmon Faverolle hens as well a Favaucana
I had a mixed bag in my incubator but threw in a few Salmon Faverolle and Favaucana eggs. I have no other breeds with feathered legs.
Trying to decipher chicks. If there is a five toed bird in the mix are offspring guaranteed to have five toes? I was hoping to use this as a deciphering technique. All of my chicks last year had five toes using the SF roo. Wondering if it changes if the roo has four toes.
Picture of the chicks and parents I’m wondering about. The first is obviously a Favaucana (light chick) and the second has chocolate mottled colouring and feathered legs but only four toes!
If anyone can help me with the five toe question that would be amazing! Are chicks guaranteed to have five toes if they have one five toed parent?
Thank you!
