Table 4. Details of the second phase of the breeding experiment including the numbers of F1 individuals and WHITE Bielefeld individuals of each sex that were pair-wise housed in cages with the opportunity to breed.
Sex | F1 Birds | WHITE Bielefeld | Pairs | Resulting number of offspring (broods) |
Male | 12 | 12 | 12 | 51 (14) |
Female | 9 | 9 | 9 | 54 (11) |
Total | 105 (25) |
The number of broods can exceed the number of pairs because each pair was allowed to maximally reproduce twice.
