Here are a few pictures of one of the mystery "babies". I was having a hard time getting pictures of her because she has decided to go broody on her first few eggs. Everytime i try to take my tablet near her to get a pic she gets kind of flighty and won't sit still for a good pic. I do not...

I am working on getting pictures. For one of them at least - the momma must surely be my spurred hen (silver columbian FF ). The baby is FF columbian - but with a "buff" base instead of white/silver. I am in the process of trying to get a decent picture her as well as of both of the...

This leads me to ask about something else if you don't mind (only because we're kind of on the topic of delaware/columbian genes already). I've been perplexed as to how I could have ended up with what looks like 2 delaware/columbian patterned babies, but instead of being white based.......they...

In your Salmon Faverolle/Delaware example.....immediately it brought to my attention that we were leaving IG out of the compare/contrast . Does this locus affect wheaten also?

Intriguing example. Is there a reason we're not also bringing the IG locus into this? - It seems that the gold Inhibitor is coming into play here

Ah ha! So it is Silver that is cancelling out that wheaten then. Thank you! The Wheaten curveball has really been throwing me for a loop.

Thank you for methodically going through each locus. So very helpful. Not only do I wish to put them in correctly, but I wish to understand them as well. Thank you so much for your time and effort in helping me to do so. I really really appreciate it! Thanks so much! :) This is the amazing...

I am starting from scratch, and attempting to formulate the correct genotypes for the original parent stock (hopefully, eventually leading me to an understanding of the f1's). This approach is bringing my attention to multiple errors that I have made (a couple of which were super huge! ) ...

Sigh. I spent hours and hours on the chicken calculator with these f1 s. Apparently, To no avail. Just goes to show that : calculator + ignorance = a lotta nada lol. I love that calculator, but there is no F1 plug-in for my hens ....so I did the best I could. (obviously ....not so...

After researching this (moving forward with confirmed parentage :) -ty ) ... I've come to the conclusion that it is possible to take these F1's and cross them with a silver laced wyandotte roo. Resulting in sexlinked chicks. Is this correct?

Thank you !

not a very good picture at all----but enough to show what I believe to be columbian factor traits from suspected Deleware hen momma

Sorry, I have multiple questions and didn't want to speak out of turn. I have a couple of f1 hens resulting from a cross. They're from what I believe to have been a Crested Cream(possibly silver) legbar roo (free chick-now deceased-no picture) crossed with delaware hens. The f1's lay...

I have another question. :oops:

Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. To what degree might I expect this trait to be found in her female offspring? All? or just some? She's actually an awesome momma and very predator savvy. She's outlasted many others that have succumbed to various predators. A darwin chicken of sorts. I'm not...

I have so many questions. Here's one of them: I have a hen that has been around a really long time. She has spurs. They're not just itty bitty ones. They are big rooster-sized, super sharp, ninja ones - AND she knows how to use them (learned that the hard way recently...ouch! ). Will...
