Dominant Recessive Sex-linked   Green Grey Violet Aust. Dominant Pied Yellowface Spangle       Blue Greywing Clearwing Black Eyed Yellow Black Eyed White Fallow Recessive Pied     Cinnamon Opaline Lutino Albino Lacewing Clearbody

DOMINANT FACTOR: Only has to be carried by one parent to be produced in offspring.

NO BIRD CAN BE SPLIT FOR A DOMINANT FACTOR

RECESSIVE FACTOR: Has to be carried by both parents, either visually or in split form to be produced in

offspring. By split form, we mean it is not visible but has been handed down from an ancestor and remains

hidden within the genetical make-up of the bird until it is mated with a bird containing similar recessive genes.

SEX-LINKED FACTOR: Passes from mother to son in split form,

i.e. hidden and not visual. Passes from father to daughter in visual form, and to son in split form.

There are two ways to breed sex-link cocks:

(1) Sex-linked father to sex-linked mother gives sex-linked sons and daughters. (2) Split sex-link father to sex-linked mother gives Normal / sex-linked sons,   Normal daughters, sex-link sons and sex-linked daughters.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THE GOLDEN RULE: NO HEN CAN BE SPLIT SEX-LINKED
