Hello Sussex breeders! I absolutely LOVE the look of Speckled Sussex chickens. What would be the genotype for a Speckled Sussex? I'm thinking e^b/e^b, Mh/Mh and s+/s+? Maybe mo/mo? Or do Speckled Sussex have their own allele of extension of black?

How would one introduce the Mahogany gene to mille fleur? So that it's Red Mille fleur. Would you breed a mille fleur male over a red columbian hen and then take the F1 offspring and cross them back to a mille fleur and keep doing this until you get the best expression?

Ayyy I haven't been around this thread for some time. I've wrapped my head around the Silver gene. If S/S is silver, and s+/s+ is golden (or wild type), then would S/s+ be the result of incomplete dominance? Like with roses, how the red ones contain the dominant red allele and the white ones...

I figured it would be intolerant to any extreme heat or cold.

What kind of weather tolerance would a bird have if they were a cross between a breed that has the best cold tolerance and the best heat tolerance?

(Someone just found out how to quote ^^) Oh yeah, I know they're sterile, but I meant it theoretically. (XD, still a TERRIBLE example, I realize) I'm still really fascinated and marvelled by the genetic diversity of one bird.

Hey, you know what? Just for fun, I've been trying to figure out how this would work. What colours do you guys think the offspring would be? It's like crossing a hinny and a mule I guess. ~Pot-8-os

Ekans (Poison).

@junebuggena I'd love to see those red barred EEs later! My, my, this is interesting, @Chicken-Eye Couldn't you also use cuckoo coloured birds? Or maybe some kind of recessive extended black barred bird? Is cuckoo even related to barred?

Hello there! Sorry to waltz in here like a klutz who didn't take biology in high school (Ehherm.. totally NOT me) , but as some of you know, I'm getting some Partridge and Quail coloured chickens in March, and I REALLY liked rose combs and all, so I decided I'd try to order some homozygotes for...

@Chicken-Eye @Rosecomb Lover Very interesting! I'm not actually interested in breeding to standard at all, because I won't be showing my birds and I really like that spike there. Anyone know any particular genes behind the spike? (Also, sorry for the necroing this thread!)

@HayBelly @Wappoke First off, those are beautiful chickens! I hope your breeding project goes well. Second, what benefit would the extra toe give? Is it sort of the same thing as a hen with spurs?

@Wappoke Yes, by Partridge I do mean like those on Rocks. Interested guess, I might say, what triggers the false spangling?

I posted this in a sex-linked thread sometime ago. Now that I know this pair won't produce any sex-links, I'm curious, what colour would the chicks be?

@junebuggena Blar, I forgot about the silver-based hen. I'll have to order some RIRs and Delawares.

Time to restart? Archen (rock/flying)

Hello again everyone! I'm planning to get my first chickens by March, and they'll be quail and partridge colours. I was wondering if I could cross a Partridge coloured rooster with a Quail coloured hen and get sex links. I was thinking the females would have some incomplete version of Quail and...

~ ~ ~ Did anyone know this is actually called a tilde?

@n8ivetxn Interesting. I've heard of one that grew up all the way to sexual maturity, and was bred, but was never duplicated. Funny thing is, this specimen led a very short life.
