Silkie Sexing Project 2.0

Woo! These babies are getting to be a handful! I'm just gonna go ahead and make it official that I'll be collecting data on Thursday and uploading the pictures sometime on Friday. I'm too old to be up this late!

That's actually exactly what I'm doing for the main part of the project, so it's nice to know I'm on the right track! We'll see how things shake out. Thanks again for pointing me towards such a fantastic resource. Some of it is a bit over my head at the moment but I'm muddling through well enough.

It's statistics, its over a lot of people's heads, including not only me, but also a lot of scientists.

Okay, here y'all go. I made the image smaller cause it was huge, so let me know if I need to upload it larger, as I still have the full resolution file.

No text labels this time, but it's pretty easy to figure out each bird's code if you don't want to edit the picture. Column 1 is Bf(Buff), 2 is Wt(White), 3 is Bk(Black), 4 is Bu(Blue), and 5 is Sp(Splash). The comb detail image is bordered in the group color, so Row 1 is R(red), 2 is P(pink), 3 is O(orange), 4 is G(green), and 5 is B(blue).

Haaaaaa I forgot to save the spreadsheet last night aaaaaand accidently turned off my computer at the power strip so I gotta put all of last night's data back in. 8pm is not too late for coffee, I'll have you know. :[

Hoping auto recovery works for you.

Hoping auto recovery works for you.

It did not, for some reason. Usually does. I have a paper copy of all of the data too though (except the pictures) just in case technology fails me like this, so it's just an irritation.

Yep! The poor black ones look so disheveled, but I'm sure they'll grow into their fluff.

Why is it always the black ones that look so scruffy? I've had white, black, and buff and the black ones always look the scruffiest!
