sapper756 Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 Ive paired my old red cock, to the same red chq hen he was paired to last year, last year I got 2 mealies out the first nest and 2 reds out the second this year I have 1 red and 1 black in the nest what sex will they be???? :-/
Guest vander mungo Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 so if the cock was red and the hen was blue, then the sexes would reverse is that right
Guest lee duffy Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 i have red [paird to blue and have red cock and red hen out of them witch are nest mates its bull if you ask me
Guest vander mungo Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 lee,what sex is the red, thats why i asked if this works in reverse
bluey Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 vander mungo said: so if the cock was red and the hen was blue, then the sexes would reverse is that right No, red cocks will throw reds of either sex.

Guest vander mungo Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 bluey, dose that mean blues and cheqs and mealies can be of any sex also

bluey Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 vander mungo said: bluey, dose that mean blues and cheqs and mealies can be of any sex also From the colour chart in Squills red cock and cheq hen will breed red cheq, blue cheq, blue and mealy of both sexes.
Guest beautyhomer Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 colour and pattern are inherited seperately.It is only colour that is sex linked.A cock has two colour genes and a hen one.Both cocks and hens have two pattern genes each. red/red cock x blue hen will only breed reds in both sexes blue/blue cock x red hen will breed red cocks and blue hens red/blue cock x blue hen will breed reds and blues in both sexes red/blue cock x red hen will breed red cocks and red and blue hens
Guest vander mungo Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 this is getting more complicated, your reds and blues, only breed reds and blues. no mealies or cheqs confused
Guest beautyhomer Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 I have only dealt with the colour genes red and blue.As I said in my previous post pattern genes like bar and cheq are inherited independantly from colour.The colours bred could be in any of the available patterns
showman Posted February 21, 2010 Report Posted February 21, 2010 And we havent even thought about split colouring !!!!!! ;D ;D
