Is Dominiker autosomal? The guy I got some birds from this summer says he breeds a \"sex link\" Ameraucana insomuchas he has an Ameraucana (albeit EE) rooster and Dominiker hens. They all seem to be barred, and he says if the chicks have muffs and beards they will be pullets. Some of the other hatchery \"brown-reds\" and \"silvers\" he had looked nice, and all of his stock looked very healthy. I went ahead and took a couple of the barred pullets, but in my mind I was worried about getting ugly olive coloured eggs. Well, one of the pullets ended up dying (my son said she started running around crazy, ran into the fence, and just died...weird) and the other one ended up being a cockrel. LOL, so much for the \"sex link\" theory. Anyway, so now I have a mutt cockrel that I just turned loose in the yard. So far, he has survived the dog for over a week. He does have muffs, beard, and pea comb, but I didn\'t even look at his legs. I guess I\'ll have to look and see now.
But, doesn\'t crossing brown egg breeds in make the pure blue and green eggs come out icky-coloured?
