CFW Males

Post by Sam Ohio » Thu May 31, 2012 9:47 pm

Can you point me in the right direction, How do you get a CFW male? I know its a sex linked gene which I don't completely understand. I have produced CFW hens from 2 gray birds but always hens. Also would like to see pics of a BCCFW. Thanks :D

CFW is sex linked, the male carries the gene. Female CFWs are only visual and do not carry the gene.

If you have a CFW hen and a normal male you will get male offspring that are split to CFW.

You will need a split to CFW or full visual CFW male and a visual CFW female to make visual CFW offspring.

If you produced CFW hens from two grays then the dad was split to CFW. A split or full CFW male will produce hens that are CFW.

These are my BC CFW

yes, like Cindy sid the mle must be CFW or split CFW, the hen must be CFW. It is sex linked.
