It is hard to carry the dark gene over to birds that have yellow legs. It is something in their genes. I read up on the genetics of the dark skin gene and it is carried over best with birds with dark or black legs. You might get the dark gene carried over from a dark skin to yellow leg bird to a hen but very seldom will the cock bird from the cross come out with the dark skin gene. In other words your hens from the yoko Sumatra cross might get the dark skin gene but your cock birds from this crossing most likely will not. I did a cross with a Black Showgirl to a Dark Cornish also. The Pullets came out with the dark skin gene and the cockerels did not. They had regular skin color because of the gene carried from the yellow legs.How long has it taken to get to this point in your project Gallo?
Also any suggestions on what to do to bring more black into the faces of my yoko over Sumatra project? I was going to put the cockrel over the Sumatra hen then the darkest one over the puller I have kept from this original breeding... I want to end up with a blue laced, dark faced, yellow sole. I want them game as well... But I'm hesitant on bringing my AG into the mix....
