Ok, Let's talk basic chicken genetics - What I know lesson#1

[lilcrow]

birder, I'm not a complete beginner but what I do know has come hard. I would love to have someone (you would be great) that would put the color genetics in a kindergarten fashion. It would help to clarify things and fill in the holes of my understanding.

Ok what you want to do is go to this link:
http://www.chickencolours.com/pagina3.html

Right in the middle there is a picture of the book cover. If you click it, a PDF file will come up that shows you some pages from the book and some review over it.

I want the whole book. It's as if it was never printed.

Oh, it printed. I have one of the last copies. They sold out and have no reprinted any.

Well, they need to get off their backsides and print more!!

If you can't afford, or find, Sigi's book, I would definitely also recommend Brian Reeder's website and book - both are excellent resources (link below). I have both, as well as Grant Brereton's book. They all compliment each other very nicely.

There are also EXCELLENT poultry genetics experts here on BYC to help you. I would name a few but I don't want to offend anyone by leaving them out. One or two have already found and posted on this thread!
