Great picture! any siblings?
me neither! =)Oh he is so sweet. Makes everyone want to hug him. Can't wait to see this one all grown up.
I believe he might have 3 or 4 more siblings, don't remember by memory! =)Great picture! any siblings?
Is it possible to do blood test as part of your experiment? If so would that be a costly procedure?Here is a photograph of a brood where fourteen of 21 hatched from and by a pullet bred back to father as part of an experiment. Darn pullets early in season seem to lay too many eggs before incubation begins. If she would have stopped at 14 egg laid she probably would have hatched almost as many.
Three light colored chicks are homozygous for unkown allele of interest. Based number of adult female phenotypes and now variations in dorsal stripe another locus is also at play that interacts with the first allele.

If I know nothing about this chicks, and I had to guess whats going on with them, going by past personal experience and Others experience I would say that these chicks(faded dorsal stripe) I would say these chicks are Wildtype/Wheaten heterozygotes, that means e+/eWh, where homozygous e+/e+ are your normal wildtype chicks(show in pic) and homozygous eWh/eWh wheaten chicks are solid yellow, the e+/ewh can look just like the chicks you show with lighter coloration and faded dorsal stripes.Here is a photograph of a brood where fourteen of 21 hatched from and by a pullet bred back to father as part of an experiment.

Gary cooper's high noon hatches are like that he call's them light phase and dark phase and will all come from same trio of adult bird's look them up at high noon hatch.comCostly yes. I now parentage with certainty so genetic information related that not needed. I also know allele making for the narrow stripe and light base coloration is incompletely dominant relative to wild-type. I do not know what locus allele is associated with or mechanism of action. Once homozygotes are set as a line and the other unknown allele (also locus unknown) is segregated out, then it maybe worth having a gell-jockey try and physically locate locus and figure out mechanism of action. Such an effort would require a chunk of money likely more than I make in a year.
I will repeat mating to get more of the light colored birds of both sexes then setup lines within that based on how dark the dorsal stripe is. This will take two more years and will result in some pretty although poor quality games purely bred for color. Naughty on me. This only a side effort so not going to hot place for it.
