DC and nic....... What color egg would this proposed sex link Isbar project pullet lay?

This sounds like a very worthwhile project to me! Fortunately, I am out of breeding pens, too.........

its not a Sexlinked cross but an Autosexing Isbar project, the These Autosexing Isbar pullets should lay same color as Isbars because they will High percentage Isbars, remember we would only need the sexlinked Barring gene from the Cream Legbars But... it can also make for a cool Sexlinked Project, For Quick Sexlinks that produce Bluish or light greenish eggs.. Isbar Male crossed to Cream Legbar Females would produce Sexlinks, males would have a Headpsot and females would be solid colored. you can take these F1 Blue or black Barred males and cross them back to Isbars to continue with the Autosexing Isbar project

Nic, I swear, one of these days I am going to learn not to post while my coffee is perking.........and if I can't resist the urge, I promise to start proof reading.......

I know the difference between srx link and auto sexing, but you wouldn't think so from that post........

you know those 55 Flowery leghorns or Ancobars on your pic? they are really pretty,

do they come in bantam verities? and the chickens on your pic, Nic, are they 55 Flowery leghorns or Ancobars?

and what color egg do the have? I think I might have found my favorite!

 

[nickers]

and I think it is a grate idea to breed an auto sexing isbar!

once you do I'd love to hear about it!

What about Bantam Faverolles?

they are 55 flowery Leghorns, the Acobars are an extinct autosexing breed(which can be recreated quite easy) 55 Flowery Leghorns are very rare, but can be easily recreated by using Crele Leghorns and mottled leghorns(breeding back to Mottle leghorns the Crele looking progeny)
