Can somebody help me with these cotounix chick colours. I hatched 72 chicks and have some different colours but I'm not sure which genes I have and if I should keep then separate or mixed when they grow.

Gold is Manchurian and Gold speckeled is Italian ... same.

I am still a bit unsure for the english namings. In Germany the gene factor is called "Gold", I think in english it is "Fawn"

Manchurian is a homozygotous Gold/Fawn, whereas Italian is heterozygotous Gold/Fawn with Pharaoh/Wildpattern.
As the inheritance of the Gold/Fawn factor is intermediate (incomplete) dominat, it mixes with the recessive inheritance of Wild/Pharaoh factor to Goldspeckeled/Italian.

Refer to Mendel's experiments: red and white pea blossoms which heritate in the F1 generation to 100% pink blossoms heterozygotous . In the F2 generation you get then 50% pink (Goldspeckeled/Italians heterozygotous) 25% white (Gold/Manchurian homozygotous) and 25% red (Wildtype/Pharaoh homozygotous).

Uhh ... guess that's more you asked :oops:

Yes most are Tibetan or Rosetta...1 white and 1 Italian.....the Italian will be the only one feather sexable

Also re italian how do you feather sex them?
