[QUOTE="NatJ, post: 25949568, member: 466333"] [URL]http://kippenjungle.nl/sellers/page3.html[/URL] This page says henfeathering is dominant. That would mean a rooster could show hen feathering, and carry the recessive for normal feathering. There is also the difficulty of selecting which hens have the genes-- you have to work out their genes by the appearance of their fathers and their sons. That calls for a lot of test mating, if you are trying to get them to all to breed true for the trait. (Just as bad as trying to select roosters for egg color!) [/QUOTE]
