I am in a zombie chicken group on Facebook. Their whole thing is that you can only call offspring from a ln AC Roo and WLH Hen a zombie. Everything else is something else. They say that F1 crosses are sexable at hatch with the females only showing Fibro and the males showing none.Recessive white takes a copy from both parents to show up white so no white birds. Recessive white also hides everything underneath it so depending on what other genes it has hard to say what the chicks would look like.
ACs should just be black and that covers a lot so odds are black chicks or black chicks that get leakage with age. Of course if the recessive white bird has blue or splash or barring etc. That stuff could show up.
What do you mean Leghorns have the barring gene? And how did you conclude they're sexable at hatch?
They're not sexable. I've heard the barring thing myself but from experience it sure doesn't seem true except in very, very rare cases.
