LOL ACTUALLY I RARELY DRINK AND EVEN LESS SELDOMNLY TO EXCESS, BUT SOME DAYS JUST MAKE YOU THINK "MAN I COULD SURE USE A BEER ABOUT NOW"

Beer sounds nice, I prefer the green Hornsby's Hard Cider.. Been settling for black coffee and sugar. This has been fun though!! I'm glad people out there know about genetics, it seems confusing, especially because I'm still learning about chicken genetics.

I really am sorry if I have ruffled any feathers with ALL my questions.

Stay on, learn, we all learn...plus I think the cinnamon color gene is in the Red Golden now...the newer color varieties are tough but genetics never goes away

Silvers are tough. You have to breed a white homozygote male to a heterozygote female. I want some silvers too!

I am confused??

 

[peewee]

OK, at the risk of sounding uneducated. I was reading Quailladies rare color page and I have a question on the white homozygote male.

RECESSIVE WHITE, wh
Inherit: Autosomal resessive
Linkage: Unknown
Characteristic: "This mutant color gene produces a white bird with dark eyes when homozygous and a two-color pattern known as "tuxedo" when heterozygous. The "tuxedo" pattern is white on the ventral surface including the neck and face while the dorsal surface is an intermingling of black and brown pigment."
Reference: Journal of Heredity, 1978
Source: English White, Tuxedo, British Range (since British Range can be in tuxedo forms)

Does this mean that the male would be all white with no dark feathers what so ever but still have dark eyes?
And then to get the silvers you would breed this male with a Tux pattern female?

It's late and I'm tired and confused.

Well Ur The Genetic Mad Scientist--- You Come Up Here And Pick The Homo And Hetro Whatevers Outta The Birds I Have And I Will Shove Them All In The Same Cage So They Do What Quail Do And Make Me Some Silvers---- Then I Will Have My Silvers

And I Would Even Send You Some Eggs Once They Were Up And Runnin
