Red Columbian- Autosexing Potential? An Experiment

[nicalandia]

No, the SOP calls for slate underfluff. That is why I am wondering whether they are wildtype based.

I read the SOP but could not find it(google search), can you post the SOP info? I would be nice to see other things it may not be available for free when you search for it.

Sure, I will tell you what is in there.

The Standard states that for undercolor "Red, but for the back which has a bar of slate."

Ok, so the sexing method isn't perfect- there are two more cockerels than anticipated.
But 3 cockerels to 10 pullets is still an elusive victory in any setting.
Lots of nice pullets there...

Perhaps the best way is to create Autosexing Buckeyes, perhaps you should name them Buckbars.

Here is a Rose Comb Rhodebar F1 rooster(RC RIR crossed with Rhodebar)

Unfortunately, I'm afraid to cross my birds, due to the rarity. I may try though, using the Dominique bantams (since that is what I have.)
It is still considered Autosexing without any barring, as long as you can sex it fairly well though, right?
I want to try and breed the birds with the most defined patterning as chicks to see how it will turn out.
I am actually fairly accurate at sexing wildtype chicks as well.

Not really, Autosexing means even Grandma and Grandpa should be able to sex them at hatch.
