The Wyandotte Thread

[Texasmja]

Well I test bred one of my cockerels and he sired two black chicks when bred to a black hen, so he can not be Splash.

Dunno if this has been covered in previous threads or not, but i was wondering what a chicken would look like if you bred a BLRW to a SLW? any pics? Thanks

I think it makes sexlinks some how. The silver is sexlinked so a SLW pullet/hen covered by a BLRW will make Silver something males after that I am lost.

If the BLRW was rooster and the SLW was a hen, the results would be:

Phenotypes:

Pullets:
blue patterned red laced
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4
Pullets:
black patterned red laced
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4
Cockerels:
blue patterned yellow/golden laced
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4
Cockerels:
black patterned yellow/golden laced
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4

Silver laced Wyandotte's are sex linked? Please explain how to tell male chicks from female?

Only if you bred to BLR. We did that once, SL roo over BLR hen, got all roosters with a yellow tint to them-not as nice a a true SL.

Interesting. Because I have a BLRW rooster that I might breed to some silver laced hens. Did you say you hatched nothing but Roos with that combo?

If you breed a (Blue) BLRW roo x SLW hen, your offspring will look like this:

Phenotypes:

Pullets:
blue patterned red laced
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4
Pullets:
black patterned red laced
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4
Cockerels:
blue patterned yellow/golden laced
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4
Cockerels:
black patterned yellow/golden laced
Ratio = 1/4 = 25%, minimum of animals to breed: 4

Yeh, we didn't want any more roosters, so we stopped breeding the two.

Quote: if your goal is to improve type, i'd recommend doing it this way, even if you end up with leakage in the short term... the slw seems to overall have a better type than many of the blrw i've seen.

this is my goal with the cochins too. besides that my batch of silver laced eggs hatced 2 roos. my gold laced should be here tomorrow or wed. crossing fingers for at least 3 pullets...
