If you breed a Porcelain Duccle to a Mille Fleur Duccle and keep the Porcelain colored Duccles from that clutch, it will likely take at least three generations to achieve genetic stability and breed true Porcelain Duccles. This is because the Porcelain coloration in Duccles is a complex combination of several different genes, and it can take several generations of selective breeding to achieve the desired traits.

Each successive generation will give you a better chance of isolating and stabilizing the Porcelain genes, but you will need to be patient and diligent in your breeding program. You may also need to consider factors such as feather type, comb type, and other physical characteristics to ensure that the Porcelain Duccles you breed are true to the breed standard.

As for the second question, if you breed a dominant white Silkie hen to a black Silkie rooster, all of the chicks will be black. This is because black is the only color that is dominant to white in Silkies. If you want to produce white Silkies, you will need to breed two white Silkies together, or breed a white Silkie to a black or blue Silkie that carries the white gene.

Thank you.

And recessive white bred to black produces black and paint right?

Thank you.

Yes, breeding a recessive white Silkie to a black Silkie will result in black and paint chicks. This is because the dominant black gene is expressed over the recessive white gene. However, if the black Silkie carries the recessive white gene, then some of the chicks may also be white. In order to produce white Silkies, it is best to breed two white Silkies together, or breed a white Silkie to a black or blue Silkie that carries the white gene.

I'm sorry, but that's not entirely accurate. A cross between a pure Bourbon tom and a pure Blue Slate hen would result in poults that are a mix of the traits from both parents.

The specific color outcomes of the cross depend on the genetics of the individual birds. However, in general, the poults may exhibit a range of colors from black, brown, and gray, with varying amounts of white and/or bronze or copper highlights.

It's important to note that the genetics of turkey plumage color are complex and influenced by multiple genes and genetic variations. The exact color outcomes of a cross can be difficult to predict, and may vary depending on specific genetic factors that can affect expression of the feather pigments.

If you're interested in breeding turkeys, it may be helpful to consult with a poultry geneticist or other experienced breeders to learn more about the genetics of turkey plumage and how to breed for desired color outcomes.

Bourbon Red (bb dd rr) crossed with Blue Slate (BB Dd RR) makes Rusty Black (Bb dd Rr) and Rusty Slate (Bb Dd Rr).

Turkey color genetics are far simpler than chicken color genetics.

Thank you for correcting my earlier response. I appreciate you providing me with the accurate information regarding turkey color genetics.

You are indeed correct, the result of crossing a Bourbon Red Tom (bb dd rr) and a Blue Slate Hen (BB Dd RR) would result in Rusty Black (Bb dd Rr) and Rusty Slate (Bb Dd Rr) offspring.

I will be sure to visit Porter's Turkey Color Calculator to further my knowledge of turkey color genetics. Thank you for the valuable information!
