I am officialy lost.

Leghorns have a gene called rapid feathering (k+). f one puts barring onto a leghorn, & maintaining the rapid feathering, the bird's barring will be blurred; that effect is known as cuckoo.
A barred rock has the late feathering gene (K). pet quality barred rocks have barring but it is a bit uneven.
If one puts the columbian restrictor genes (Co) onto the pet quality barring, the barring will become crisp & even; exhibition quality barring.​

Thanks for the info Krys

The wonders of genetics.....

 

[jjdward]

Where can I get some chicken genetics 101? I would like to know the basics. Any charts, books, ect?

 

[Krys109uk]

How about this for starters:
Henk's pages explaining the basics:
http://kippenjungle.nl/basisEN.htm


This older site also explains some of the basics (one or two bits are a little outdated)?

And Henk's Chicken Calculator. Build your own chicken

The first language shown is Dutch; the English version is just below that.

Hi Rooster-Spur

Thanks for replying to my post, I am also interested in this color and hopefully we can work together to get info.

Can someone tell me how to work that breed calculator thing? I tried one of them and couldn't figure it out. Most of it wasn't even in english.

I would really love to get a Buff Barred bird.

Hi

I for got to tell you this. I crossed that roo that I had that looked like yours with this little hen below( She is a silkie cross with what looks like a brahma) But anyway their chicks turned out to look like the mother or kind of like a NHR. Don't know if it will help just thought I'd tell you.

This is the hen (she is a great broody, those are BC Marans chicks that she hatched)
