Unfortunately, I live a long way away in SoCal. Also, it turns out my scarlet hen lays some really unique eggs. I'm really not sure whether she is a celadon layer but she lays some really unique colored eggs. For a while, she and the scarlet roo who came with her were the only breeding/laying...
I think it would help, a lot of people in my area don't know how color genetics or the celadon gene works. I remember trying to see if any of the local backyard celadon lines advertised on craigslist bred any roux offspring. Nobody knew what I was asking for, I had to send massive, detailed...
Wow, I thought celadon males from a full homogenous line would be super valuable . . . I know I've been looking for them. After all, you can only guess whether a male is homogenous/heterozygous for celadon. Having a full homozygous male from a proven homozygous line would eliminate the...
That's cool that you're working on snowy celadons! I want to breed silver, roux, and the extended brown gene to celadons to get silver roux rosetta, silver rosetta, silver tibetan, and silver roux tibetan. I've tried to research what these colors look like but it seems nobody knows. The...
Sorry for the late reply, it's midterm season for me . . . @FloorCandy I'm sorry about your sick chicks. Have you talked to Zack about your snowies?
I talked to Zack Green from Myshire through his Livestream. He said the white birds he will rarely get from his silvers are albinos and they...
I would like to show some of my silvers. These two are definitely silvers:
Here is I think a silver and gold (silver X Italian):
And then this all-white bird (homozygous silver?):
How is it that the silver gene can generate so many colors even within (silverXpharro)? Is it the color...
I've been reading to better understand silver genetics: https://bmcgenet.biomedcentral.com/.../1471-2156-11-15
In the article, is states that homogenous silver birds look white. Does that mean the heterozygous form of the gene is what we most commonly see today? How would you tell a homogenous...
