Granny's gone and done it again

They’re heavy! Heavier than the orps and lorps right now.

I learned about double barring from chickats project with Jim and the hens. In some of her generations the cocks were single barred and hens weren’t barred at all. Actually, two of Jim’s sons that hatched, one was barred and one wasn’t.

Sounds interesting. Would love to see the genetics behind them. Did the all black and single barred roos make normal barred offspring?

Her project was cream legbars and Isabella leghorns. I think she did end up with double barred males, after carefully selecting pullets that met her criteria. It’s all on byc, very thick and tedious to read (for me) but extremely well noted and documented.

Jim only has one copy of the batting gene, if I remember correctly. So his sons could get a copy of the barred, or copy of the nonbarred. He also made a barred daughter, but it’s faint and looks like spots.
