🐺1st Test EE Norse Mythology Hatch-a-Long 🐺

[Mill Chick]

Thanks. I would like #11 because I’m going to be getting some silkie eggs to hatch on Monday.

Can I name #11 Forseti?

 

[AinaWGSD]

Can I have #5 for Nótt?

White legbars should be recessive white but should be carrying barring, and lavender is a recessive dilution of black. So I'm guessing the F1 chicks will all be black barred, carrying both recessive white and lavender. I'd expect rose combs from the wyandotte since single comb is recessive, but not all wyandottes are homozygous for rose comb so it wouldn't be terribly surprising if single combs pop up. I would expect them to have small crests, but since it only takes a single copy of the gene to have a crested bird there's a chance your rooster is heterogenous for that gene and could throw non-crested chicks.

Could I have #3 and name it sköl (like sköl and hati the wolves who chase the sun and moon)

 

[Chicken_Obsesser]

Oooooh I love that!

5 is Nótt!

Thank you for that detailed description! Would you expect them to be sexlinked due to the barring?

Of course! What a cool name!
