* There are many reasons why these basic guidelines are not followed, eg developing a new variety, developing disease resistant lines, to avoid inbreeding depression (infertility, etc), to improve type in a line & so on..... It is only a guide.
* It is important to keep accurate records/pedigrees.
Colour Breeding Lines:
* Cuckoo, Black, Lavender
* Blue, Black, Splash
* Millefleur, Blue Millefleur, Golden Neck (Splash Millefleur)
* Porcelaine, Millefleur
* Quail, Blue Quail, Splash Quail
* Lavender Quail, Quail
* Silver Quail, Blue Silver Quail
* Lavender Silver Quail, Silver Quail
* Blue Mottled, Black Mottled
* Lavender Mottled, Black Mottled
* Buff Columbian (Fawn Ermine), Blue Buff Columbian
*Buff Columbian, Lavender Buff Columbian
*Columbian (Ermine), Blue Columbian
*Lavender Columbian, Columbian
* Silver Millefleur, Silver Porcelaine,
* Blue Silver Millefleur, Silver Millefleur
* Cream, Buff
* White

~ those in purple bold are the colors i currently have ...so is the golden neck considered the splash and if so how since it has no black on it?​

None of your birds contain the genes needed to produce the lemon spangled mille fleur bird. You may get something similar to the mahogany mille if you cross a male mille over a black hen then cross the same male mille over his daughters. If the black carries the correct genes, then some of the birds will look similar to the bird in the picture. In the second cross you will have to hatch 20 birds. The males will look like the male in the picture and the females will be dark brown.

Remember this is a guess because I do not know the genetics behind the mahogany bird.

Once you get there you have to click on the link on the top left that says genetics. I couldn't get it to link directly to that page for some reason.
