What is a "double white barring gene?"That's a cockerel. You can tell by the batting. Males are lighter than females because they have the double white barring gene.
The white barrs will be doubled making them wider. Only males get that gene in barred rocks. If you look at her picture you can see how much darker the female is. females have wider black barrs making them appear darker.What is a "double white barring gene?"
Oh, okay, thank you! You learn something new everyday!The white barrs will be doubled making them wider. Only males get that gene in barred rocks. If you look at her picture you can see how much darker the female is. females have wider black barrs making them appear darker.
Oh, very much a boy. The comb, the barring...I'm sorry.I have some chicks, each about 3 weeks old. One already has a reddish comb. A few other chicks have this but not as much. Just slightly pink. Is this a rooster?
Goodness, look at those legs also. That's definitely a cockerel.
Oh, that's not fair to him. He has nothing in common with geese. I would either 1) keep him with the hens if the ratio was good, 2) keep him with only other roosters in a bachelor pad, or 3) make him dinner.Thanks guys! Well, still got one Plymouth Rock hen. Guess he’s going to free range with the geese.Eh, Stripe was always more fitting for a rooster. His name is Stripe by the way.
