Yes and yes since as you said above that mottling, being recessive, has to have two genes to show.So my F1 offspring will be.....
Pullets... Silver duckwing carrying mottling.
Cockerels...silver/gold duckwing single factored barred carrying mottling.
Right?
Only one from the hen.Does the hen pass on two mottling genes or only one?
Don't the babies have to get a mollting Gene from each parent...ah ha...to show it they do but they can still carry it.
This split business is confusing me.So what you're saying is that mottling is recessive so they need two copies to be expressed?
So that would mean a copy from each parent but since these will only get one copy from the hen that the offspring will carry or be split for mottling but it will be sight unseen?
That sounds like its gonna be a pain in my @$$ later on.
Yes. Split means they carry it and do not physically show that they have the gene.This split business is confusing me.
This means they carry it but don't show it?
Only the girls will have a chance of being molted!!!!My battery is about dead be back in a bit.
Now we know what the F1s are and what genes will be in play so what will I get from crossing them.
I start with the easy one.
Both are wild type (duckwing) so all offspring will be duckwing.
Now for gold/silver, barring, and mottling.
Ok Kiki get us started.
