Genetic discussion of slow Feather (K) and tardy feather (t)

[Beth C]

After the first 5, I\'ve been getting black chicks, so maybe it just took them a while to settle into the breeding pen.

Meanwhile, wanna play who\'s the daddy? Possible candidates are a blue wheaten, a wheaten, and a buff.

They\'re about as cute as the are worthless:

I believe this thread was originally talking about the K gene in the Lavenders.  Since I have been getting several inquiries I believe this thread definately needs to be bumped up.

Cindy,  thank you again for your offer.  I have been hatching some lavender chicks lately and looks like I am going to rebound.  I do not leave them free range anymore since it is so difficult to replace years of effort to improve them and the preditors seem to like the rarest birds which means they taste the best.
