Could be? I'm incubating more eggs now, so I'll see if it's just a 'one off' or something else! Have 3 cabinet bators running with Peach, Red, Yellow Goldens and Persian Ringnecked eggs. 1 cabinet has nothing but Yellow Golden eggs.
Along those lines, I have several Yellow Goldens (juveniles) that instead of the dark brown/black feathers on the back, they are laced like the cape feathers and the same color as the cape....I have no idea where it's coming from or from where it would get that coloration/gene? None of my parent...
The peach are sorta unknown but it is thought to have come from a cinnamon x yellow golden or a dark throated golden? I know some peeps back breed to a dark throated to get a deeper 'peach' color on the males cape.
Same with Silver Goldens, no one is sure how they were developed but it is...
Well, if she is still laying in a month from now, and she has bred with the Yellow Golden male...try hatching her eggs and see what color the chicks are that are produced.
Not necessarily, you need to breed and hatch several generations before being absolutely sure that they would be pure. There have been cases of peeps with what looked like pure Red Goldens have chicks hatch out that were phenotypically Yellow Goldens....a case where both parent birds were...
No, phenotypically it looks like a Yellow Golden, genotypically it will have the Red Golden genes also. This is why it's important not to crossbreed, because you get birds that look 'pure' but they are not, and when sold as 'pure birds' to the unsuspecting buyer, they think they are pure and...
They would all look phenotypically 100% Red Golden, even though they are carrying 1 copy of the genes responsible for the Yellow Golden genotype. The Red Golden genes are dominate and the Yellow Golden genes are recessive. If you took the hens and back bred them to a yellow male, then you would...
