Abstract: The effects of parent chickens with different colour types on the feather autosexing accuracy rate of filial generation were studied. The results showed that different colour of male parent has no significant difference effect on feather autosexing accuracy rate of filial generation, while different colour of female parent has significant difference effect. The lowest feather autosexing rate with 79. 3% was met when different colour of cocks crossed with hens in white but mixed with a lot of rust feather, while the highest feather autosexing rate appeared up to 93.6% when different colour of cocks crossed with hens in pure white feather.
