    Before you assume he is Duckwing, you should know that the Cocks of Duckwings, Partridges and Weatens are identical.

    Oh and to answer the Last two Questions (hopefully satisfactorially)... The Cockerel is Golden Wheaten (or possible Salmon. I thing C=Golden Wheaten is more likely considering his sister) - Geno. e^wh/e^wh; S/s+ The Hen looks to be Silver Wheaten, and I can easily imagine her having a Diluter...

    Sorry for inadvertently causing confusion... I did not mean to suggest that true black be called Gold Birchen, but I was trying to point out that some call it that, but calling it Gold Birchen is incorrect and causes confusion. About Recessive black.. I should have mentioned that some believe...

    Yes it would. Lavender does not mess around with the Pattern, but it dilutes both Color Types. So a Bronze Isabel would be Self Blue (mostly) with the the Gold areas diluted to the cream shade of Isabels. I don't think anyone has ever bred this color, and I'm not sure what Lavender would do with...

    That fellow looks like Co/co+ on an eb/eb base.

    To answer a previous question, no, Co/co; E/E would certainly not have that much gold leakage. And to add something to a statement above, Mille Fleur + Dominant White is Gold Necked. I think the reason she looks cream is, like Henk mentioned, DW washes out groundcolor.

    True-Black (as seen in Stara fowl and Bow Lake fowl) with only one genetic change from wildtype (the E gene), look like Black Copper with yet more of an advance of black. True-Black is also called Gold Birchen (incorrect) or Bronze (correct). The Hackles of a cock are groundcolor, as are the...

    Actually, Pheomelanin is not red, but Gold. Gold is diluted to red with an enhancer (making it darker) there are two Enhancers: Red (Mahogany) and Dark (Near-Black) Wildtype pheomelanin has no red gene. This always reminds me of an incredibly common error - 'New Hampshire Red' - Not only...

    Basically speaking, there are three main Gold diluters: Champagne - Recessive - the weakest of the three; hard to notice Lemon/Cream - Recessive - dilutes Gold to a nive rich Buttercream color Gold Dilution - Dominant - very Powerful. It can take Mahogany and dilute it to the same tone that...

    Pretty good, but Blue/Splash is actually incompletely dominant. There is no such thing as a 'Buff' gene. Buff is a combination of Gold Dilution (or possibly Lemon) and Mahogany. Solid Buff (i.e. Orpington) is Wheaten, Columbian, Mahogany, Gold Dilution, and Chocolate Dilution (the tail)...
