Male or female black faces?

Post by Flight Feathers » Thu Mar 22, 2018 1:04 am

So I have two black face/black face pied babies. The parents are: father = Black face and mother = cfw. Because cfw is a sex linked gene and black face is domaint does this mean my two black face babies are female?! Or could they be both male or female?

Yes they could be male and female.
remember if only the mother is cfw( or brown, or lb) only offsprrings males will be split for that sex linked .
Male normal + Female mutation gives you
normal split males 100%
normal females 100%

Oh okay thank you. Am I right that black face will dominate other colors meaning my two babies are definitely black face?? Because they have ginger/orange colouring where the breast bar would usually be although of course they haven’t got all their colors because they are only two weeks old. They are also kind of brownish on their backs so I’m not too sure what they are exactly.
