    Is Pg causing these white tip tail feathers?

    I could do exactly what you do and troll your posts ( you referred to another one of my posts) and then give a rebuttal to every post, but I will not. That would be unseemly behavior (narcissistic), so I will not do so. I will give you an example of how this would work. In the first post...

    Is Pg causing these white tip tail feathers?

    I can see from your posts that you are going to take my posts out of context and dog me on everything I post. I post here because I want to help people. I do not understand your narcissistic behavior. In my first post on this string I did not question your answer nor did I quote you I...

    Color genetics thread.

    I have noted that the blue gene has been described as a dominant gene on this thread. The blue gene is not dominant but incompletely dominant. If the blue gene was dominant, then one blue allele would cause a genetically black chicken to be a splash phenotype. The blue allele by itself can not...

    Color genetics thread.

    To get a light buff (not assisted with dominant white) as in a buff orpington, the E locus would have to be changed in the polish from Birchen to wheaten or wild type. The gold laced polish is a darker buff color because of the black that is in the feathers. The dominant white gene removes the...

    This completely slipped my mind. If she has white shanks she carries mottling- dark shanks no mottling.

    For practicality, I will say no, the gold parent does not have the correct genes to produce buff offspring when crossed with a bird that is a hybrid. The hybrid itself is problematic. Your F1 may carry blue, is most likely extended black/birchen at the E locus, may or may not carry two...

    Is Pg causing these white tip tail feathers?

    Normally a mottled bird will add more white as the bird ages- this bird does not fit the typical mode of expression. This does not mean the bird is not mottled- test breeding would be need to be carried out to obtain a solid answer.

    Columbian restricted male note the white in the tail feathers. Not unusual for columbian restricted birds to have white in coverts and rectrices. This male has quite a bit of white in his, Not unusual to have white in coverts and rectrices of the tail. The amount and pattern of white in the...

    The white in the tail is due to the restrictor he is carrying.

    yes it would be a buff color with single black lacing that extended into the tail

    Buff laced polish are as you stated not silver. If they were silver, the bird would be almost completely white. All the buff on the bird would be replaced with white if it carried silver. For grins- lets make a buff and white laced polish chicken. We will start with the base coloration and...

    Color genetics thread.

    The male could carry gold ( makes red) or silver- you do not know because he is black under the white. If he had red showing through the white he would have red showing through the black in his plumage. splash birds are actually black birds so when you cross two blacks you should get blacks...

    All the other posts did a good job of explaining things- but I want to expand on the other posts. You are confusing dominant white with sex-linked silver. They are two completely different genes and are inherited in a different manner. Dominant white is a gene that inhibits black in every...

    I would suggest that you use birds that are sex-linked silver to cross with the whites. Most recessive white birds do not have a problem with the gold allele expressing color in the plumage, I have read some research and the researchers did discover a recessive white allele that was leaky. If it...

    the white in the hackles is due to sex-linked silver. Your bird appears to be extended black at the E locus and is missing the melanotic gene which would cover the white in your bird.

    if your bird is recessive white wouldn't the bird be a white marans?????

    Color genetics thread.

    The male is a white-tailed red phenotype and the female is as black breasted red. If you cross the two you will get black tailed red and white tailed red offspring. The male offspring will not be completely restricted, but with red plumage similar to the male parent; some male offspring will...

    Color genetics thread.

    That looks like a dominant white bird and it also has to be blue. Dominant white does not work on red pigments- so some red is being expressed in the feathers. Your male is dominant white. It is not unusual for the feathers of some white birds to show some yellow as the feathers wear. Your...

    yellow was the down color of the chicks not an adult plumage color. Forget the concept of a yellow chicken in this thread. A completely white rooster (one copy of dominant white) x what is the variety of the hen= ????????? A completely white rooster (one copy of dominant white x blue...
