    Frizzle genes of this bird?

    Okay, using this chart from an old post by Tim, I do NOT see the modifier gene listed. Do Silkies typically carry the modifier gene? https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/88682/silkie-genetics (from that post pasted below...) ..."Fm fibromelanosis id+ dermal melanin (sex linked) These...

    Frizzle genes of this bird?

    It just occurred to me that the frizzle aspect of this family group just made things very complicated! What I have read so far is that the frizzle gene 'F' is incompletely dominant and that frizzle birds like the grandmother in the first photo are actually heterozygous, or 'F/f+', and beyond...

    Frizzle genes of this bird?

    That analogy was INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you Sonoran. After reviewing your post and my Punnett square work above, it still looks like I'm on the right track. What does your "If the white came from a paint breeding," mean? And why does it bring Dom White into the mix? I do agree that Dom...

    Frizzle genes of this bird?

    Oops, I think I read the Sonoran answer wrong... "Yes; dominant white blocks most eumelanin, but not pheomelanin." So what this is saying is that dominant white blocks most BLACK, but not RED/GOLD? To summarize my comprehension... the hen above obviously does NOT have dominant white. The...

    Frizzle genes of this bird?

    Thank you Sonoran! That info was gold. The large group of chicks have adult plumage that is white with a light casting of a rusty blush. The 3rd generation silky chick also has the blushed downy feathers so I'm betting on it showing up in adult plumage too. So where is the rust color coming...

    Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

    Hello everybody. I'm not into showing silkies, but I do have an interesting silky breeding project going on that I would like some input on, especially with the genetics involved. I have some x-bred chickens from a full white silky roo and a frizzle cochin hen. The hen and the chicks are...

    Frizzle genes of this bird?

    Tim, is this the autosomal red you were talking about before? Does it have a gene symbol and what are its characteristics?

    Frizzle genes of this bird?

    Thank you PC. Update: We have a grandbaby chick that hatched Christmas Day from this hen, actually a chick from one of the hens pictured as chicks above... and it is a black skinned white silkie with extra toes! The only evidence of cross breeding is that the rusty blush is again coming...

    Frizzle genes of this bird?

    Here are some more screen captures of the hen and chicks for a better view. Hen looks like she might have white lacing on her back feathers. Facts: - about 50% of the chicks are white. - None are black speckled (like the leaky dominant white.) - Most of the whites have a...

    Frizzle genes of this bird?

    Anybody want to take a crack at what kinds of genes are involved (and the associated gene symbol) for this bird? I have some of the offspring in this picture and would like to play with some Punnett squares. The rooster is a pure white silky which I've read is recessive white. If true, why are...

    Playing with Punnett Squares and Genetics

    Holy crap Tim, you are a silky guy too?? I just found one of your old posts from '08 in a google search: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/88682/silkie-genetics (from that post pasted below...) ..."Fm fibromelanosis id+ dermal melanin (sex linked) These three make black skin. W+...

    Playing with Punnett Squares and Genetics

    That was the clearest description I've seen yet! I spent about 40 minutes googling "autosomal red" and nothing came close to helping me understand exactly what it meant in layman terms. Ok, so if my silky hybrids are silver white not dominant white, then the faint red showing up would be an...

    Playing with Punnett Squares and Genetics

    Tim, not quite sure what to make of the autosomal red, it is a bit beyond my comprehension right now. How is this different from the gold/mahogany/wheaten red?

    Playing with Punnett Squares and Genetics

    Ok, thanks Tim. I suspected something along those lines of strengthening the red barring, just couldn't see it in my oversimplified Punnett gene set. Using the calculator I was able to understand what you were saying more clearly. The pic really helps too! Cool looking bird. Henk69, that...

    Playing with Punnett Squares and Genetics

    Wow! Thank you too Henk69. You gave me: "For BC1 enter in male field: E/E^Wh,B/b+,Mh/mh+,S/s+,Co/co+ female (RIR parent): E^Wh/E^Wh,b+/-,Mh/Mh,s+/-,Co/Co" Were can I find these gamete formulas?? I'm going crazy trying to find any kind of reference site that lists the gene combinations for...

    Playing with Punnett Squares and Genetics

    Thank you VERY much. Your reply is EXTREMELY helpful. The silver and gold part is a bit confusing, but it puts us on the right path for further research. I think what I am reading is that the silver and gold colors will show up as solid colored non barred birds. Correct? Silver looks light...

    Playing with Punnett Squares and Genetics

    Hello all! Could use a little assistance with gene sets and how they interact with each other please. Background: Was looking at my flock of various breeds and was daydreaming about controlled breeding, and who would go with who. A Meyers Hatchery rooster crossed my path in pursuit of a...
