Erminett genetics question

<< < (2/2)

jerryse:
ooops What I meant to say was homozygous.

OldChurchEggery:
Did you have any hatches this spring to find out more about this variety? I\'m interested to see pictures of the resulting chicks and just to hear about your tests overall!

jerryse:
I have not hatched any yet.She just started setting on some of her own eggs.

jerryse:
I have 5 chicks out of this hen now.Chicks prove her to be pure for erminett or homozygus.I may have said hetro earlier.I got 2 erminett and 3 white.She was with a black rooster and then a white erminett.Chicks are from both roosters .I now know this white rooster is erminett.This gene is of no use in ameraucanas as 2 copies give white legs and 1 copy spotted legs.Still it may be of interest since so little is written about it.
