Anyone have an idea what my Goulds will throw.

Post by Foosa101 » Thu Jul 28, 2011 11:36 am

I get confused when trying to decipher through all the genetic info but I was hoping someone would shed some light on what my Goulds will throw color wise...I am assuming the dominant trait color of RH PB GB, like my male, but the hen is RH WB GB.

Any opinions?

I'm sure that once I become more familiar with all the abbreviations I will understand it a lot better but in the mean time....can someone provide an hypothesis on what to expect?

Too be honest I don't care what color they are as long as they are healthy.....AND HATCH! [-o<

They give links to three Gouldian forecasters. They are great, very easy to use and I couldn't live without them!!!

All your chicks will be RH.PB/WB.Gb - unless of course there are any hidden genes you didn't know about. :wink:

Yeah, I have no idea what their parents looked like...would be neat to have a surprise but I highly doubt it. Thank you and hopefully I will have some baby pics the first of next week. Featherless and bald, of course.

Thank you!
