This has been making the rounds on the internet. I'm particularly pleased about the revised first line (tho any variety of Rock would have made me happy.

you can thank sex linked dermal inhibitor(Id) females only have one copy and males have two, thats way males have lighter shanks due to having the same inhibitor twice

Oh but it's possible. Like I said, started with Black Rock bantams, it was a pain, but doable. Those Black Rock Large Fowl that were posted from Germany prove it too. So many "breeders" are just lazy, or are too soft and won't cull hard as required to better their breed.

the bird from tigercreek and Brookhaven prove it is possible. my roos have bright yellow legs.I will cull hard to keep them that way too.

I never said it was possible, I was stating the genetic Facts about hens only having one copy of Id/- I thought you wanted to know why females generaly have darker shanks, not only on this breed
