This is six week old Geralt. (At time of photo.) He hatched with poor autosexing. Good female eyeliner, no yellow spot on head but very questionable chipmunk pattern from Australian lines.
He's obviously continuing his poor look, no? All CLB cockerals I've seen have much more distinguished patterns than this. He's like a little cloud.
I feel it's obvious this guy shouldn't pass his genetics on for pure CLB lines, but how bad is he looking so far compared to a good CLB?
Also, does he look like this because he is missing a barring gene? (B/- or b/- as opposed to B/B or B/b.) If so, wouldn't that mean he's not pure CBL, as Roo and Hen should each give 1 copy to male chicks?
Would you consider using him for Easter Egger breeding?
Thanks, I'm still learning!
