hi i let all my birds find their own mate,

and i got these two to mate does anyone know what the Yb will look like? :)

Posted

is the cock all white or is that a blue patch on his back?

Also what colour is the cock bred from, does it carry any recesive genes?

the cocks, parents come from whites crossed with grays,

they they were bred to whites again and so he shows up,

yes its a small black path on his back,

the hen is half yellow and half red mealy,

ok, you'll breed, blues, prob very pied and maybe even white!

You will not breed any dilutes.

If you keep a cock bird from the pair that will carry the dilute/cream gene, if you pair that back to the cream hen they will breed the odd cream/dilute of which 1 in 10 may be a dilute cock bird. Once you have bred a dilute cockbird then you will be able to breed dilutes from that paired to any coloured hen.

If a cock from this pair is paired back to the cream hen half of the young will be dilutes.Therefore 1 in 4 will be dilute cocks.

In your post you quote the figure at one in ten  yet in the next post beautyhomer says it will be one in four, a big difference ,  one  of you has to be wrong . :-/

i'm only going on experience with the Show racers. Not sure if Beutyhomer is refering to 1 in 4 of the 50% of the dilute youngbirds which would make it 1 in 8.

There would be a much easier way to breed dilutes if that was MBpigeonguys plan and that would be to get a dilute cock bird, either silver, cream or yellow.

Quite sure he will inform us when he is back on .

why does the systen duplicate msgs if you refresh?

 

on some occasions when you refresh the page it will resend your information,but not always , but if you duplicate your post you should just delete it .

and how do i do that?

 

well if you look at top right hand corner of the post you just made you will see buttons that give you the option to either delete the post or modify it , think you have 15 minutes to alter or delete them.

1 in 4 of all youngsters will be dilute cocks.This is because dilute is a resessive sex linked colour modifying gene.

A cock bred from the original mating will be heterozygos for dilute but look normal i.e he will have one dilute gene and one normal.

When paired to a dilute hen (which only has the one chromosome and not a pair) we will get-

dilute + dilute = homozygos dilute cocks

normal + dilute = heterozygos dilute cocks --look normal

dilute +            =dilute hen

normal +          = normal hen

 

Therefore 1 in 4 will be dilute cocks.This is only the maths,you would have to breed several rounds off several pairs to get these results.If you only breed 1 or 2 you might never get one of the possible combinations.

Thanks for that beautyhomer , it is cleared up now .
