The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

[nicalandia]

I’m assuming your saying he can’t be that rooster that fertilized the egg, correct? He was my only rooster. I got rid of my other rooster 3 weeks prior. To big of a word for me if that’s not what you meant haha

hens have been known to keep sperm for up to 3 weeks. I don't believe the chick has any Cemani blood in it specially if it's a pullet, if the chick is a pullet she should be all Black, black chick down, black skin, black beak all black. If the chick is a male and inherited sex linked Id from mother he should have signs of Fibromelanosis even if the skin is clear, the beak should be dark purple or dark green, also the nails.

I just don't see any signs of Fibromelanosis(there are signs even if Sex linked dermal inhibitor is present)

Look at the beak.. the light parts should be dark purple at the very least

I was wondering why she looked the way she did! That makes a lot of sense, then she is mixed with a black Ameraucana as the father. Does this make more sense? I admire your knowledge!

Yes, that's the sire. the chick has a pea comb, if the Cemani was the sire not only she would have Fibromelanosis showing but the chick comb should be single instead of pea comb.

My Laughing Chicken mix turns out to be cockerel. Starting to saddle early at 5 weeks. He has female partridge pattern on the breast feathers, what gene would cause that?

Updated with pictures.

Also I solved the mystery on who the dad is. I completely forgot I moved my laughing chicken pullet into the bantam coop, during the whole tom Turkey incident. The father is my OEGB/Phoenix cross rooster.

Lack of testosterone on his blood stream. As he ages his level of testosterone will rise and the female partridge patter will disappear.

Didn't come to my mind, that was happening. How common is it?

The father has interesting shaped breast feathers, they're pointed like his hackles. Will get pictures later.

“Ask anything”- do you enjoy answering this many questions?

 

[Somewhere_In_The_Clouds]

What is causing the reduced hackle markings on the pullet at the front?

Will an ameraucana cross always have a muff/beard when crossed to a clean faced chicken?
