Creating Golden Duckwing

[peachdawg78]

I'm trying to find the best way to create golden duckwing birds. It seems that I can breed partridge to silver penciled and the breed an impure silver back to silver penciled hens. I'd appeciate any advice I can get. Also, I'd like to find some Silver Penciled Standard Plymouth Rocks.

What breeds?

If you breed in a e+ bird that is your first needed step.

What do you want, true breeding Golden Duckwing or pseudo look alikes that will not breed true?
If the first you need to breed in the Inhibitor of Gold ig into wildtype Partridge Duckwing, if the latter a Silver Duckwing X Partridge will do,

psst.. in the USA "partridge" often refers to eb or as in the birds with the "show type" pencilling on hens as in Partridge Rocks. e+ usually are called variously, red duckwing, black breasted red, or "Light Brown" in some breeds such as Light Brown Leghorns.


I'd like to know a common breed known to have ig? Especially a clean leg single combed one(besides any longtails) Is there a way to visually determine if a rooster is igig or a 'faux gold duckwing' if parents are not known?
