Sex- linked Information

Yes, genetic are VERY interesting.

THe ghost girls are pretty.

Thanks. They mature at the same rate as the RSLS who were hatched the same day. Laying is comparable. Body is very similar. Colour seems to be the only difference I've noticed.

do you know where your trio came from? They may have the resessive lavendar gene, making your chick a coronation sussex, if you talking about what I think you are.

You asked not too long ago to see my ghost barred pullet from a RSL x BR cross. Here is a younger pullet.



and we have a second generation of this cross (above girl x BR cockerel again) also turned out white with ghost barring.

Genetics are so interesting

These girls are REALLY pretty! Since I didn't see the earlier posts, are you consistently getting this result or is it more of a happy coincidence?

50% of the time it should happen this way.

I've got 1 barred and 4 ghost barred though. 2 girls, 3 boys. The boys are always skinnier and smaller than the girls. The girls are plump at a young age.

and thanks!!

have the hen and rooster got them from local agway, the other 2 have black marking ,thanks for the reply

 

[whoisit]

did some reading on the coronation Sussex and I do believe that is what it is, the marking are even lighter than the pictures I've seen , looks like I might have to find some more for breeding as well as rebreeding the parents and see if it will happen again

no. all of the chicks coming from your partridge EE crossed with Black australorps will give you black chicks..none autosexable at hatch
