That's all right.  You are right. This will be the case with any sex-linked recessive gene. For example, if we have a normal cock and a normal hen and they produce an ino chick, the gene would have come from father and the chick will be female. Because the ino gene is the one which is carried on the sex chromosome or X. The only thing which I want to know that how can we genetically explain that a split ino cock can produce split inos, as you said earlier. The cock bird carries two "x" chormosomes (the hens one "x" and one "y"). From a pair where the cock is split ino where the chick is a cock bird then one "x" comes from the hen which we know is normal otherwise it would be a visual ino and one from the cock. If this one is carrying the ino gene then the chick is also split ino, if we get the one without the ino gene (and it's 50/50) then the bird isn't split. But as has already been stated, you've got to breed from the bird to determine if it's carrying the ino gene. Hopt this helps! Thanks. |

A spit ino cock mated to a normal hen will produce 25% ino female 25% normal female 25% normal split ino males 25% normal males The only way to tell which of the cocks are split for ino and which are not would be to breed from them Thanks Nev. This makes it quite clear. |

Would it be possible to get ino chicks. or would the cock have to be split ino?? to get ino chicks. |

When a "Normal Green" is paired to a "Lutino Hen", will give 100% "Normal Green Cocks" which will be split "Lutino". And all hens will be "Normal". |
