DOMINANT BROWN D 192 is a program with brown feathers, differing from the D 102 program by black flight and tail feathers. It is very popular as final hybrid for self-sufficient household farms in many countries around the world. The asset is the high productivity, namely laying over 300 eggs with light brown eggshell colour.
This program is the result of cross breeding the Rhode Island Red (RIR) paternal population and the Sussex maternal population. When hatching one-day-old chickens, colour sexing is applied by using allele of the Silver/Gold "S/s" gene, where the one-day-old cockerel acquires the dominant allele of this "S" gene from the mother and is white, while the one-day-old hen receives recessive allele "s" from the father and is brown.
