Sex- linked Information

I hatched out 3 light Sussex all three from same hen and rooster 1 of witch has grey instead of black is this rare or desirable,I believe it will be a rooster

Good post for the sussex thread--try to reach 3riverschick--I think that is her name. Very up on sussex info.

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

Okay thank you, and would they all still lay some variety of green eggs? This is probably the wrong place to ask this though

Pea combed chicks out of this cross will have 95% chance at green eggs. Single comb 95% at brown. No chance at blue.

This is what Nicalandia told me before

thats correct.

 

[aoxa]

thats correct.

I'm learning.

I'm trying to get more white EEs. I have white female EEs, and a few males - but they are not white. From what I've read up on, and been told by others (not you - the expert), will I ever get white offspring if I use a son back to mom from the first generation?



Mom


Dad

With the sons looking very much like dad.

This is recessive white, Correct? So the offspring will carry 1 copy, and therefore giving me a chance at second generation whites?

white EEs are mostl likey Dominant whites(white ameraucanas I belive are recessive white) did she hatch any white chick at all? how many chick did you hatch from her? it could be that she is heterozygous(carry only one copy of dominant white)..

but in any case if you cross him back to her you have 50% chance of getting all white birds... crossing a none white bird that carry one copy of recessive white(thats why you dont see it) with his recessive white mother you will have 50% chance that all chicks(males and females) will be white.

if you cross a heterozygous dominant white female with his none white son you will have 50% chance of getting all white chicks(with some color leaking). some will or will not have color leaking

I was told on the Ameraucana thread that she is recessive because she shows no leaking, and that dominant affects pigment. Oh it's all so much to take in.

I've hatched a good 20 chicks. None were white at all.

They've stopped laying without light, so I can't try until I get my breeding pens set up and they are ready to lay for the spring.

I don't have any images of the sons that are current. Here are some of the chick pictures. All three of these turned out to be roosters. Some are a bit lighter than dad, but most are very similar. So 50% chance, if it is recessive or dominant? I sure hope I get something. I really like the white.







Here's an older one of them.

okay thanks, what are the odds of pea combs vs single combs? Would they increase if i had a EE roo over some other Brown egg layer?

 

[Arielle]

@ AOXA----

I have a blue ameraucana rooster in with my EE hens. 2 EE hens are white. A cream white. THis summer I hatched ONE white rooster with black flecks. THis tells me my girls have a dominant white. THis part I assume and I'm not completely sure: if dom white x black = flecking on white and if white x red = white with red leakage= cream. (I"m still learning; not an expert)

I've put the barred hens in with the black AMericana and a blue americana. = sexlinks that will lay a green egg.

I've read this entire thread tonight and my head is ready to explode. If I have this right, I should get sexlinked chicks from my Blue and Black Copper Maran roos with Cuckoo & Golden Cuckoo Maran hens? Also with same roos over SLW hens?
Thanks
