BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

[RoostersAreAwesome]

That would be great. We are using real pictures for color crosses too. People will be able to see leakage from the crosses too. I remember reading Kippenjungle a long time ago and not understanding why there would be leakage, because I didn't read the footnotes. I was easily confused and gullible because chicken genetics were new to me.

I can help you with the pictures. I'm good at finding things like that.

We're going to have to ask permission for the photos if they are not our own...

Do you mean cropping the background to be transparent? Or having a flatcolour or graidient background?

because of the variation in the egg shell color's being able to see them all against the back ground easily will require a gradient color background. will it be easy to see white feathers on a white background, and slate legs on a grey background? gradient is probably the way to go.

Just a quick question @Feather Hearts , @Cyprus ,and @AMERAUCANAS4REAL , should we crop the birds out of the pictures for ease of viewing in the calculator?

Yes

Ausome, I'll get working on that with the photos we have!

So distracted today. I'm trying to get a clean list together of expressed egg color genes and I just can't seem to get going on it.

Same here, whenever I try to get started on anything I have to come back here and ball over laughing at my DD avatar

I'm going to start a calculator chat thread. Let's try to keep posts in this thread relevent to the development of the calculator.

Thanks! I've done the silkie rooster base, and the silkie hen base. It would be great if you could help, I'm working on Orpingtons now. You can draw bases for any breed you want and colour them in! (Maybe try start with the more popular breeds)
Here's the silkie bases-

Any breed you'd like to recommend for me to draw an outline for? I'm much better with pencil and paper than digital but I can take a decent photo.
