Anyone have pics of these color patterns?

[Goose and Fig]

I got these from the chicken calculator:
25% Pullets, fawn/dun patterned buff incomplete-columbian
25% Pullets, black patterned buff incomplete-columbian
25% Cockerels, fawn/dun patterned buff columbian
25% Cockerels, black patterned buff columbian

Is black patterned buff columbian like a light brahma?

What about the rest? THX!

Been crossing with buff... ?

Note that buff does not always have the dun factor which means you would only get the black patterned ones.

Light brahma is silver columbian. Replace the white with buff/gold color and you get buff columbian.
You can see pictures in the actual chicken calculator, I suspect you used "quick summary" on the overview page?

incomplete columbian means that your animals would probably have some black pattern on their back.

Ok- so what would fawn and khaki look like? I got that as a result too.

Oh- one more question for you Henk- would partridge cochins be considered light brown? Mine are pretty dark- not sure which color to use for them.

Ah- that's what I meant to say! Ooops!​

Partridge is partridge, the first and default pattern for the program.

The trouble with the name 'partridge' is that in some breeds it is referring to e+ (wild type, duckwing) birds & other times it is referring to eb, Pg (multiple concetric penciled) birds.​

heterozygous I wouldn't use in the "phenotype" because that would be a genotype term.
heterozygous Columbian can be incomplete columbian though.
But het Columbian often shows as complete columbian too, for instance on the males.

Anything that would disrupt the columbian pattern could deliver the description "incomplete". Heterozygousness in females is the most common though.


Light brown is no cochin color for it is based on the wildtype e-allele e+ which is rare in cochin. Also the females are not pencilled like in the "partridge" cochin color, but stippled.

Well you all said it better than I did, didn't you? LOL glad you came along and made it clearer. I knew what I meant but that doesn't always mean it gets out of my head with any sense to it. Chuckle

Ah-hah, thanks, you have answered a question I've been wondering about. The flock that produced the Columbian rocks I bought had many hens with penciling-type markings, but clear Columbian roos. Now I know a likely reason why!
