So, as a lot of y'all know, Trifle and Truffles had 6 chicks (5 sold off now that they're grown, kept Mable, their daughter.)
All of the chicks, however, came out having Trifle's markings only. I was hoping at least one would have Truffles' beautiful red coloring but none of them did. I couldn't tell any of the cockerels apart when I had them! So, can someone tell me... Is the father's genes just stronger and more likely to be passed on? What are the chances of any future babies possibly having mama Truffles looks?
NOTE: I am not breeding for money or doing anything inhumane. I just like to give my girls chances to raise their own babies whenever I have the spare time and space.
