Hi Sheryl! Thank you for your video, so easy to follow! I just subscribed yesterday and I think I have watched all your videos now ☺, love your easy manner and seeing your chickens in your garden! Would love to know a little about you and any other pets you might have in a future video, I think I heard a cat in the background in one vid 😃. Do you have a teaching background as you have a lovely presentational style. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to your channel, appreciate it 💗
Paige Boswell Hi Paige. Thank you for subscribing and for your kind comments. Apart from the chickens I just have one elderly and rather deaf cat and a very indulgent husband. No I don't have a teaching background, I'm a transfusion scientist, but over the years many people have shared their knowledge with me and I'm very glad to share what I've learned.
Outstanding presentation of a subject that is too often discussed in an overly complicated manner. You made it so simple and easy to follow. THAT is how great teachers teach! You put a huge amount of effort into this one! I have some Red Star and Black Star Hybrids in my flock (from Murray McMurray Hatchery) as well as some Heritage breeds and I have to say the sex links are actually incredible birds in both egg production and vigor. Are you breeding your own sex link chicks?
Wow! Thank you! Yes the commercial hybrids are great producers - the producers' profits depend on it! I have bred colour coded Wyandottes using the sex linked Silver gene. That's a fun one because I also mixed in the gene that codes for the lacing colour (black or white). I might do a video about it one day.
Hi Sheryl i have some questions. why some Z chromosome carry silver dominant gene and some are not? is that possible sex linked gene is recessive gene?
Some individuals have the S gene and others don't. It's just an inherited polymorphism, the same as the way some individuals have brown eyes or curly hair and others don't. It just depends on what genes the parents had and which they passed on to the offspring. Since a sex-linked gene is simply a gene that is carried on one of the sex chromosomes, then yes certainly a recessive gene could be carried on a sex chromosome - it would therefore be a sex-linked recessive gene.
Thank you. They take me ages to do because I work full time and have lots of other activities but I love doing them. Do you have a problem with your chickens eating eggs?
I understand! I don't have an issue with them eating eggs (knick on wood), but I'm new to chickens and find it an interesting subject. I know a lot of other people have problems with that 😊
I have a Question 🙋🏽♂️ I been using your teachings and creating amazing birds so I wanna Say thank you first!😂 My question is I have a Dark Brahma rooster and one Gold partridge Brahma will the chicks be gold roosters and the hens be silver ?
Assuming the "dark" brahma is genetically silver pencilled (black pencilling over silver ground colour) and the gold partridge is black pencilling over gold ground colour, then - If you had a purebred gold rooster and silver hen the offspring would be gold females and silver males. But since you have a silver rooster and gold hen the offspring will not be colour sexed. Now we don't know whether your rooster is purebred homozygous for Silver since he has two genes but only needs one (dominant) Silver gene to look the way he does. But if he's homozygous then all his chicks would carry the Silver gene and therefore look like him.
I have a question 🙋🏽♂️ about silkies breed of chickens. If you for instance breed a silki rooster with a regular feather hens and then you take the cross breed offsprings and bred it back to a silkie rooster would the third or forth generation grow the silky feather again?
Yes. About half of the third generation should be silkies. In fact you can breed the second generation together (even though they don't look silkied) and a quarter of the chicks should be silkies.
I'm sorry I have just realized I haven't yet replied to you. Actually I don't know much about the genetics of partridge colour. You could try the Poultry colours and genetics Facebook page.
Yes the black laced red would work as the red rooster. You can cross him with a black laced silver hen and get black laced silver males and black laced red females.
I love these videos you make learning genetics easy!! I would love if you could do a video on crossing silkie chickens with naked necks video
Thank you.

Genetics made simple, thank you, great video!
Thank you. I have to laugh about this video - UA-cam say it's risky because of adult content. I think they mean the word 'sex' 😃
Nice idea with the correction fluid!
Thanks

Very informative.

@@chickensinmygarden great!thanks for replying!love your video! Learned a lot
You're very welcome. Thanks for watching 🙂
Those videos are very helpful!
Thank you 🙂
If you ever get on another genetics video kick it would be fascinating to have a video about the genetics of auto-sexing breeds!
Ah, that would be fun, especially since I don't know much about them - I can see lots of fun ahead of me learning all about them and trying it out 😃
Very much informative.. Much love..
more of these please
Awesome as always! I really enjoy you're videos and I'm looking forward to the next one. I would love for you to talk about egg-eating chickens
Thank you. They take me ages to do because I work full time and have lots of other activities but I love doing them.
Do you have a problem with your chickens eating eggs?
I understand! I don't have an issue with them eating eggs (knick on wood), but I'm new to chickens and find it an interesting subject. I know a lot of other people have problems with that 😊
Then I must add it to my list of topics to do a video about. Thanks 😊
Was searching for this, for a long period. Kindly requesting to do Genetics of Line Breeding. Thank you..
I have a Question 🙋🏽♂️
I been using your teachings and creating amazing birds so I wanna Say thank you first!😂
My question is
I have a Dark Brahma rooster and one Gold partridge Brahma will the chicks be gold roosters and the hens be silver ?
Or would both be gold ?
Assuming the "dark" brahma is genetically silver pencilled (black pencilling over silver ground colour) and the gold partridge is black pencilling over gold ground colour, then -
If you had a purebred gold rooster and silver hen the offspring would be gold females and silver males.

But if he's homozygous then all his chicks would carry the Silver gene and therefore look like him.
@@chickensinmygarden thank you 🙏
You're welcome. Good luck with your breeding 🙂
Good job! Very interesting, but, indeed, it does get complicated.
It does. I hope I have explained it clearly enough.
I have a question 🙋🏽♂️ about silkies breed of chickens.

In fact you can breed the second generation together (even though they don't look silkied) and a quarter of the chicks should be silkies.
Thank you I’m gonna experiment and see if I can create a giant silky
Good luck👍
sex linked cross by partridge mix? how do I know the sex of the chicks if only one parent is partridge?
I'm sorry I have just realized I haven't yet replied to you. Actually I don't know much about the genetics of partridge colour. You could try the Poultry colours and genetics Facebook page.
@@chickensinmygarden I'm in this group
I have a Gold partridge Brahma rooster and silver partridge dark Brahma hens
Can this cross create sex link?
Yes indeed. Assuming the gold rooster is purebred, all the females will be gold and the males will be silver.
So nice
Thank you
Do this work with sussex and brown leghorn
Probably not, because brown leghorn are not simply a plain brown caused by a single red gene. But it does work with lots of other breed combinations.
@@chickensinmygarden ok tanks
@@chickensinmygarden does black laced red wyandotte work.
Sorry for bad English
Yes the black laced red would work as the red rooster. You can cross him with a black laced silver hen and get black laced silver males and black laced red females.
@@chickensinmygarden Can I use wyandotte rooster and sussex hen
Love
Thanks
❤❤❤
Thank you
More! More! More! More! More! More!
Hey, something funny - UA-cam put a warning on this video as being risky because of adult content. I think it's the word 'sex' in the title.
MOOORRREEEEEEEEE>>>!
