Sex-Linked Breeding Examples (Using Cuckoo & Chocolate)

[CaptainStumpy]

Just a couple of little things;
The Chocolate used in these examples, is the more common Sex-Linked Chocolate.
The Magnifying Glass is just a visual symbol of what gene a bird is 'split' for or carries, but can't be seen.

Sex-Linked Chocolate Breeding Examples

Chocolate Rooster x Black Hen = Black Split Chocolate Males & Chocolate Females.

Chocolate Rooster x Black Mottled Hen = Black Split Mottled & Chocolate Males & Chocolate Split Mottled Females.


Chocolate Rooster x Lavender Hen = Black Split Lavender & Chocolate Males & Chocolate Split Lavender Females.


Chocolate Rooster x Cuckoo Hen = Dark Cuckoo Split Chocolate Males & Chocolate Females.


Chocolate Rooster x Blue Hen = 50% Blue Split Chocolate Males & 50% Mauve Females
50% Black Split Chocolate Males & 50% Chocolate Females

Chocolate Rooster x Splash Hen = Blue Split Chocolate Males & Mauve Females.


Sex-Linked Cuckoo/Barred breeding Examples

Black Rooster x Cuckoo Hen = Dark Cuckoo Males & Black Females


Mottled Rooster x Cuckoo Hen = Dark Cuckoo Split Mottled Males & Black Split Mottled Females


Lavender Rooster x Cuckoo Hen = Dark Cuckoo Split Lavender Males & Black Split Lavender Females

Blue Rooster x Cuckoo Hen = 50% Dark Cuckoo Males & 50% Black Females
50% Blue Dark Cuckoo Males & 50% Blue Females

Splash Rooster x Cuckoo Hen = Black Dark Cuckoo Males & Blue Females


Hopefully you found this easy to follow, They're just the basics, but I find it handy to 'See' genes rather than having them just written down.

Beautiful!

What might I get when I breed s Chocolate rooster with a Mauve Cuckoo female?

Love the visuals! Very clear and easy to follow.

Is this something you created, or something you found? Is it available for any other sex-linked examples?

Thanks for these charts. What about a splash rooster and a chocolate hen or a blue hen and a split black rooster?

Chocolate Cuckoo Maran Pullet

Mauve Cuckoo males look much better with a single barring gene as two genes dilutes them too much, I think the following are Dun based instead of chocolate based

Such an old post... but do you have any idea if the chocolate sex link works in turkeys and which females I could use successfully on the cross?

Also, an enjoyable post... thank you!

Hopefully someone will still answer this thread. What happens when you cross mauve to mauve?
