She got seduced by #66's charms and insistance that she have some bowl time!

I think I will. It will be interesting to see what will happen.
@biophiliac What would the most likely result be. A blue check male and an Ash red female. Is the dominant colour from the male? Could a red bar be a possibility?

The male is dominant I think. And the offspring will be sex-linked! Ask bio for the colors though. :rolleyes: I don't know...

Color is determined separate from pattern. Blue cock and ash red hen --> blue females and ash red males(carrying a hidden blue allele). That's if she's an ash red Tcheck, not recessive red, spread... I can't tell the difference. On pattern dominence, I'm not sure. Maybe check is dominant to bars, I'd have to go back to the genetics site...

According to that chart I think she is a ash red T check, so, pattern aside if lays and both hatch, the male squab would be ash red and female would be blue. Also I read somewhere that after her first moult she will show either a check or Barred pattern. I can't remember where I read that so I dont know if that's correct.

So if both or even one parent is a check, you can expect the offspring to be checks also.:)

I looked over my records and discovered that one of my pairs produced a clutch of 2 males. Does that seem unusual? Don't we usually see one of each in a clutch? What is your experience?

Hmm, interesting. I read that 90% of the time it's a male and female. But idk if that's true. It is unusual, but I don't think rare. I also read that the first egg layed is typically female, next one is usually male. :confused:

I could do! I'm not naming anyone now though until I know they're gonna stay! So she's just plain old #779!

trivia fact - Despite only about half my birds have names, almost every bird I have lost was a named bird. :hmm
ps - 779 is a good name, I have a hen, #738 that I'm trying to protect by not naming. But 738 has become her name!:barnie It's a conundrum!:lau

Thanks, that's kind of what I thought.:)
