what color in genetic code is a welsummer?
I know, weird question but I found a chicken color calculator online and I want to plug in my breeds and see what I will get.

Partridge, I believe.

Yes e+, but there's something else too, which makes them redder.....Mh maybe?

is this correct for a normal colored welsummer?

Looks like the words to some kind of disco song!

I would go with e+/e+ and Mh/Mh
It might not be Mahogany but the inheritance is the same.

Sorry, you lose me when you start throwing out the vowels, LOL. I have a mental block when it comes to gene designations.

The standard calls for a RED partridge.

That genetic code also threw me off

thank you, now I can just plug in the code and see what I get (although I realize, it may be wrong)

Partridge is a very misleading hobby name that has no reflection on the genetic makeup of the bird.
A Partridge Welsummer is a Red Duckwing e+/e+ s+/s+ Mh/Mh
a Silver Duckwing Welsummer is e+/e+ S/S mh/mh
