    General genetics questions...

    So I'm *very* new to genetics and breeding guidelines. My flock now is just some EE mutts and I'm not looking to just jump into guideline breeding or anything, but I did have questions about genetics that maybe can be answered. Question 1 - One of my adult females has a crooked back tail. It...

    D'Uccle Color Help

    I've been playing around with crossing some Porcelain and Mille Fleur and ended up with these little roos that seem to be a slightly diluted Mille Fleur with a full, black hood. What would you even call this pattern/color? And what does it say about the genetics of the parents?

    Genetics Q&A

    I am currently working on a spreadsheet which deals with peafowl genetics because I've been asked a lot of questions about offspring and combinations etc and I wanted it written down. It is NOT AT ALL complete, I only started designing and filling it out like a week ago, but I am getting toward...

    Golden pheasant genetics question

    Hi everyone. So I have a question regarding golden pheasant color genetics. I bought a young pair last fall at Ohio National last fall that were listed as yellow golden pheasants.

    Are these silkie/cochin crosses?

    Hi! I was given some silkie hatching eggs from a lovely lady a while back. These two appear to be a mix of some sort. I thought maybe cochin and silkie, but I'm not seeing a whole lot of hard feathers which I thought that they would have with the cochin genes. It doesn't really matter, I'm just...

    Chicken calculators and my simple mind

    Hey guys I'm fairly new to fowl in general and I've spent the last 2 hours trying to make sense of multiple genetics calculators - I simply don't understand them. I don't understand the coding or even how to input my birds to find out what I'm looking for. If someone could explain to me in...

    Is Rooster Behavior Passed On Genetically?

    Hello! I have a Black Copper Maran rooster and he is the only one i have of that breed. I wanted to use his genetics but am worried about his temperament. He is way too rapey towards my girls. They don't want to be around him because of it. What do you think, will his male offspring display...

    Interaction of Lavender?

    I have a white goose (Sebastopol) who was sold as a lavender gosling to her previous owner. She ended up feathering out white. Upon purchasing her I contacted the breeder and found out she had a pen of solid lavenders (should be 100% lav offspring?), and a pen with white and lavender mixed to...

    Silkie coloration

    Hi all! I'm wondering what you think of this silkie roo of mine. He's got a silver/red/partridge coloring with tan/brown spots on his wing feathers. He's obviously not show quality but I think he's just gorgeous! I've never seen any other silkie that looks like this! Thoughts?

    Hello! Today I acquired an 8 month old Easter Egger pullet from a local feed store. Based on her appearance, does anybody have any assumptions about her genetic makeup? I’m a beginner to genetics, so I’m not sure if some traits like recessive white vs. dominant white can be distinguished by...
