Study Notes

Sexing Chicks

The primary purpose of cloacal identification is to determine the sex of newly hatched chicks.

Sex-Linked Genes

Feather color and length are traits influenced by sex-linked genes in chicks.

Beak Trimming

The recommended age for beak trimming in poultry is when they are young, typically around 1-10 days old.

Inheritance Pattern

When a golden colored male mates with a silver colored female, the inheritance pattern is that the male transmits his sex-linked gene to all his offspring, while the female transmits her sex-linked gene to her sons.

Color Inheritance in Sexing

The purpose of using silver and gold color inheritance in sexing day-old chicks is to identify the sex of the chicks, as the sex of the chicks can be determined by the color of their feathers.
