All my crazy projet ideas!

Here pictures for proof. I have nine of them. That will change once I choose a cockerel out of the few I have. I think I have three or four cockerels. Not mature enough for me to tell right now. It will be one of the two that are blue with red shoulders.

I'm going to steal them.

Nice coloring!!

A huge thanks to Mr Hinck for the help, and information the gave me at the show, and the pair of Brown reds I purchased from him.

Oh my gosh it's Biscuit!!!!! Lol.

Not really.

Plus, I don't think Pumpkin is a dilution gene as much as a weird pheomelanin extension. I don't understand it myself.

Most think its a dilution still so I'm sticking with that until proved other wise. It very well could be tho. And it still shows out that most black dilutes work like blue does. If pumpkin is not a real dilute then that would make it different. Could it be both? A dilution and a pheomelanin extension?

I want them to find all these genes for chicken colors so I can stop guessing. Then we can have colors that match gene names and I wont be confused by the jigsaw of all these color names as well.

Sexlinked chocolate and I would argue dominant white (being co-dominant as opposed to incomplete dominant) do not work like blue.
Pumpkin isn't a black (eumelanin) dilution because it causes the bird to produce pheomelanin rather than changing the shape of eumelanin or causing eumelanic areas to be less densely pigmented by interfering with eumelanin production.
Pheomelanin is by definition not a black dilution. Pumpkin birds still do have black on them so the bird isn't simply producing red instead of black either. However, I would argue that genes that do produce red instead of black aren't black dilutions either because they are increasing the amount of pheomelanin present.

Oh I did forget about white, lol. And I do stand corrected. Brain miss fire and stuck on a completely different track.

That's a good explanation and makes more seance that what a lot of others say about it.
