    It can't be denied this is just a pet quality and will stay as that. For the breeding eventually yes, with the right selection every generation. When you want to arrive to high quality do yourself a favor and start at a higher level.

    I knew it, one day I would end up in a file ;-) Silver laced is a complex to inherit genotype ! Everything MUST be in place or the "clean" single lacing will be disturbed. The wyandottes have the black-tails on the genotype eb/eb Co/Co (db+PgMl//db+PgMl) S/S*S/- this In contrast to the...

    You must imagine the "coloration" of our chickens is not build on 1 color-gene but on several color-genes acting and reacting with eachother. I give an example on other breeds. The Ancona Black white mottled should contain E/E S/S*S/- mo/mo Ml/Ml and look like this : The Livorno Exchequer...

    Just imagine the tonalities of B/B/S go as on this graphic (is of Paints but let see the same effect for Blue) gradually from completely (dirty) white over lighter Blue and darker Blue towards completely black. (Graphic from H.R.) That is why Blue (already visible in single (=Bl/bl+) but more...

    When you start a project you must have a goal for a standard. This standard is composed of several qualities. These qualities must be breed together from males and females. Seeing these different qualities is one thing, knowing how they inherit is an other thing. So it comes to knowing what...

    Try to become Cuckoo Silkies with dark comb, skin, legs and eyes is the same as wanting a negro woman with blond hairs from herselve ! Cucula : here is a "genetic conflict" : the barring gene removes pigment from the skin, comb, eyes, legs etc ... while trying to produce the required dark...

    Isabel when graypearl/cream and no white/Silver In the EU are also wrongly used names for Millefleur and Porcelain, Millefleur diluted by lavender and Isabelporcelain. Porcelain is now so well established for the by lavender diluted Buff/blacktails and/or gold Partridges (even it is...

    I try to make a simple resumé to avoid further confusions. We must make a distinction between the name of a "gene" (= genetic-term) and the name of a "coloration" (= hobby-name). Lavender is the name of the color-gene lav/lav lav/lav is a recessive gene. A recessive gene need both alleles in...

    I hope we get a photo but I am about sure this light yellowish shine on a complete white Silkie (which is most probably a recessive white c/c) is caused by carotene in the food or by sunlight. This shine go away with the next molting but will come back when you keep giving food containing...
