Beautiful blues do you have emden in your flock?

It looks like they only inherited one copy of the dilution gene from the white

There could’ve been wild geese coming over and getting busy with your girls.

Thank you. I breed Africans (working on improving the whites) and have been studying genetics on white allot. The blue gene seems to come in with other breeders when they use Emden to bring in the white genetics. One of the reasons you can sex emden at birth by the color of there down is they carry the blue gene. This is just from what I have learned so far. Your diluted blues should be boys and your greys should be girls most with little patches of white in other words pied. Do you think thats what you have.
My white has been brought in using Chinese. My friends we learned have been throwing blues because of a emden being used to breed in the white color.
