:frowI am soooo seriously sorry for the delay. Progress on it has been a little slow since Easter ended up being pretty big this year and we keep getting chicks, but it has not stopped. I am currently beginning to work out some of the more advanced parts of being able to mark up the genes and...

Exactly. I plan on mqking it as embeddable as it can be for as long as it can be, Update on my progress: while I was working on the XML interpreting I found somewhere on BYC while browsing to see if anyone has had a mysftery chick like one that just hatched yesterday that looks and feels like a...

Thanks a bunch for the documentation. I agree that over complicating it with all of the forum goodies and building from the ground up may make things go wrong and would definitely make them a tad slower. It will take a while to get through but I am starting to see this thing as being ready to...

Hmmm. Yes having it look and feel like part of the site would definitely be great and ideal. I don't think I will be able to fully integrate the calculator to a XF page. What I can do though is some perlimenary vanilla (un XenForum) UI just for testing things pre-integration. Who knows though...

Ah thanks for the info. I figured it was eventually going to be integrated to BYC but wasn't sure if there was anything special to it. Good to know the forum engine though. Did a quick search on it. (Oh great, commercial software. :he:barnie Sorry, FOSS nut here.) I am not sure how much that...

Yes I get what you mean. It just needs all the templates put together. Any constraints that have come up I should know about like a certain programming language or format? JSON comes to mind for this, not very noisy compared to other markup configuration languages, but perhaps another format may...

I think I could at least take a shot at it. I think a modular approach could let the genetics experts be able to contribute their alleles and the behaviors/effects they have a bit easier for someone with zero programming knowledge. If not that given the right description of the effects I might...

I would love this to become a reality! While I don't know much about chicken genetics what I do know is how to program and how the (oops accidentally hit upload at this point) odd color schemes could be generated with the right code to back it up. Quick question though since I currently haven't...

Haha same here! Opened their brooder and they all went over to chill in the litttle crack of sunlight coming in! Sidenote that polish is definately something white. They seem to just be getting their first feathers.

Thanks! I hope you're right about the yellow/whites. I will have to post some updates when they start to really feather out. Not bad for feed store chicks! I hope that most are hens too and that I can convince my aunt to keep a couple of them for later since we can't have roos (probably?????)...

Hello everyone! New guy to BYC and SIlkies but I already LOOOVE them:love:ya:ya:ya:love so I figured (I hope I am right that this is the best place to do it0 I should post some chick pics of my Silkies from Tractor Supply. I think I know what color they are but anyone got any thoughts? There is...

Wow! I am surprised this got this many responses so fast! Thanks for the helpful links. I will definately have to check those out.:lol:

My parents had decided to get chickens about 4 years ago and got chicks 3 years ago that we raised IN MY BEDROOM! Believe me when I say that was an unforgettable and joyful experience despite the unceasing smell of chicken poo. Plus I could tell people I had 3 chicks in my bedroom which always...
