    Sultan cross

    I know this was more than 10 years ago now but do you have adult photos of any of the sultan crosses? I am interested in crossing sultans with other breeds and am interested to see this cross.

    Silkie Cross Breeds

    Here's some pictures I took of them, the first one is the mother and the white silkie is the father, he is super protective of the hens and he even helped in raising the chicks feeding them and taking them back to the hen when they got lost, people say to not to let a rooster with baby chicks...

    Color genes from Jungle Fowl Species (non-red)

    Wanted to get a discussion started about any color genes in modern chicken breeds which may derive from non-red jungle fowl- namely Grey, Ceylon/Sri Lankan, and Green jungle fowl. Most of the time when we talk about chicken alleles that don’t fit the wild-type red jungle fowl version we label...

    Observations on Mottling and its many allelic mutations

    Ok that helps! The white chest/underside is coming from mottling though correct? I don't think Mo+, e+ has that?

    Observations on Mottling and its many allelic mutations

    They almost look like the D'Uccle allele since mainly only their breasts are white. I noticed in my last batch of Icelandics I hatched that most of the mottled chicks only had white breasts/undersides as well, although there was one that had the standard mo allele mottled chick down pattern...

    Observations on Mottling and its many allelic mutations

    Question- what type of mottled allele do you think 55 Flowery hens might have? Here are some pics of chicks. And here's a video on facebook so you can see their full body coloration:

    Dongxiang or Lushi

    This is not correct. I was a Genetics major in college. The two genes are linked closely on the same chromosome. When they recombine, they get spliced the opposite way. So if you take a pea comb blue egg line and cross it with a single comb white egg line in the F2 generation you might let’s say...

    yes I’m familiar with genetics. I was saying in terms of longterm selection. This is assuming of course that you are ok with pea comb birds. And yes, in this case it would only tell you that most single combed birds don’t have the blue egg gene in the specific crossing program I mentioned- the...

    “Beijing Fatty”A funny Chinese chicken

    she looks like she is a Silkie mix- I would guess with either an Ameraucana/Easter Egger or a D’Uccle.

    Dongxiang or Lushi

    Sorry just read your post earlier on. Sounds like both breeds had single combs so it won’t be too easy.. If it’s not too late in your breeding program to add an ameraucana in the mix that might make it easier to select for blue eggs. If also depends on what other traits you’re selecting for so...

    Dongxiang or Lushi

    which breeds did you use in the original cross? The pea comb gene is closely linked to the blue egg gene so If you used ameraucanas and Ayam Cemani for instance in the initial crosses, most of the pea-combed birds should have one or two copies of the blue egg gene and most of the single-combed...

    Dun/Khaki + Chocolate

    I’m wondering if two doses of dun + chocolate would be a light tan/cream then since this is one dose of dun?

    Dun/Khaki + Chocolate

    thanks so much for the photo! I love this color! It looks darker and a better tone than a khaki. I may breed for this color in the future.
