Quick answer on the Barred gene. It is a sex linked Dominant. So your answer is...it's complicated. lol. But boil it down and you get: Daddy is Barred = All chicks barred to some degree Daddy not Barred = Boys Barred, Girls not barred. This is how they create sex-links. If the boys have dark feathers, you can see a white spot on their heads. Other genes also affect barring to some degree, but that will give you the basics.

Okay, thank you for that correction. :) I wasn't totally sure on how dominant it was.
 
Oh, that's okay! Either way, I would rather be corrected than be responsible for misinformation. :)


Ah, Rangi's fine, the little so-and-so! :lol: I was out making sure she and her broodmates were where they belong in their pen, and before I knew it, she had flown up over the fence and to my shoulder. :rolleyes: Naughty girl! She and the others are spending more time out of their pen than in it, though I suppose that means they'll integrate pretty easily into the flock since the big girls seem to ignore them anymore.

Miss Frou-Frou, my Blue Splash Marans, is the one that's been beside herself with jealousy, her and Freema the barred Rock. Frou'f has been all over me since I got Margaret, like she knows there's someone else taking my attention away from her and she wants it back desperately. Frou-Frou's the one that insists on visiting in the house every evening, and I do mean every evening without fail! And then Freema gets jealous every time I so much as pet another hen, let alone pick them up, so she's got to come over and grump at me while I comfort Frou-Frou and make sure she knows she's still loved. :lol: I do my best to give everyone their attention, just none of them seem to think they're getting the proper amount. :rolleyes: The life of a chicken momma. :lol:

Hello All. How has everyone been? Its been crazy here. My flock size is way down right now. I am getting ready to redo things around here and start building my flock back up. Our garden is doing great. The rain we had this year makes the weeds and grass grown up in no time and have a hard time keeping them pulled. I slowed down on incubating but here soon I will start back up on that. I hope everyone is doing great. I hardly have any time to get on the internet. I do visit this site on my phone tho so if anyone has any questions or wanna talk just send me a message on here. I know this thread loves pictures so I will have to get some soon for you all.
 
You got to love chicken math! not even a week ago I bought seven chickens and today I got 4 more! I will post pics of them later, theu are pretty and i might post some more pics of mu brown leghorns, just because i like them. dont tell the other chickens but they are probably my favorites.

I hope Godiva and Peaches does great for you. I tried to pick out 2 of the best from my flock for you. Godiva is really big and heavy isn't she! LOL While we was talking I had a hard time holding her with out her getting away from me. She is very strong. Peaches layes good eggs. I have babies from her. We enjoyed Olivers stay with us. He is one lovely boy. And I tamed him from the biting. It took a little time but I finally got him broke from him. He is very lovable! I still cant believe you got all roos from me! At least I was willing to take them back most people wont do that because they are roos. But as you notice on my farm I have roos everywhere and they all live in harmony together. The two EE roos i got back from you last night are doing great and they look awesome. Those roos are offspring from Peaches. I will definitely have to get pics on here of them.
 
Going to get these beautiful chicks tomorrow. Can't wait!!
