Hi there: I hope someone out there can help me understand the genetics of colors. I know this in the world of great danes, brindle to fawn gets brindle and fawn. Fawn to Fawn should get Fawn unless a brindle gene shows up.
Any way, I'm curious as to what colors are dominant and recessive. Recently at the fair, the judge said the original colors were red and black. Other colors were created. How do you get white? We have a white cochin banty rooster that appeared but we don't have any white banty cochin roosters. We have black frizzle, blue cochin banty and black x banty cochin. How would we get an all white cochin. We only have white and red banty cochin hens, as well as self blue duccle. Also, if a white cochin banty hen was put in with a white silkie, would this be possible. Usually chicks have the silkie features present.
Thanks for any and all help you can provide. I didn't want to go through 500 threads to search for this information so if you know it's here some where could you point me in that direction?
Thanks,
Margaret
