Chicken breeding is a fascinating subject and I am hoping for help.
We have an Araucana hen sat on her sisters eggs that were fertilised by a Marsbar cockerel.
Said Cockerel is a cuckoo marans X cream legbar.
I have a few questions first up will all chicks be barred? I think because Charlie is double barred that all the chicks will be?
What comb should we expect, will they all have the same?
Also if we get any pullets what colour eggs could we expect.
We might hatch more eggs later on. Are there any genetics that would stop the chicks being barred? And if we were to keep a rooster from this breeding will these be triple barred?
Thank you for any advice, I have tried Google but didn't find anything useful.
