Silver coloration

<< < (2/2)

Don:
There are a lot of traits that are not visible in both sexes; shafting, leakage and egg color are examples.  It always helps to know the lineage of the opposite sex.   So if you find a female that has less shafting, use her, her daughters if they have less shafting and one of her sons. That way you know the lineage of the male even though he will not show the trait.   It is a Very Slow process, but one that we all might be able to progress over time.  Check out the Silver Duckwing OE or Silver Leghorns at the next show to see how refined the color can become.
