Genetics

[yotetrapper]

Where can I find a book on chicken genetics? If not a book, is there a website with BASIC beginner poultry genetics?

There is something on Feathersite I think. Let me go see if I can find it.

Here is the link. The info is towards the top of the page and apparently it's an ebook. It shows an email address for contact info on how to get it.

Good luck.

Well I emailed the guy. Anyone else know of anything? I tried reading some posts on genetics but was lost because they speak in a whole different language of codes??

Anyone ever read :

ABC's OF POULTRY GENETICS
Author: Dr. W.F. Hollander Phd.

Any good, worth $11 for a newbie getting into breeding?

This site is pretty good (with calculators). Covers the basics.

Yotetrapper I was gonna tell you to go to the-coop and check there but I noticed you already posted there. I say get Hutts book, its pretty good. Also on the-coop there is a thread about the book poultry genetics for dummies that is coming out soon, it seems very helpful.
The book from Grant (off of feathersite) is kinda helpful but only covers a few colors, we bought it for something like $12 US and it wasnt worth it.

Thanks for that info- I would like to check out that thread eventually and I have been wondering about the online book. Glad to know from someone else that it isn't worth it.
