BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

[Rose Quartz]

Wouldn't you also get the possibility of brown eggs?

It's not so bad, but you have to figure out how it works. We are basing the genes off of it but making the calculator easier for beginners to understand.
I sure hope it will be a success.


It's too bad they don't have egg colors. Egg colors are a little too complicated perhaps. You can get a million and three different browns, so you can see where that causes problems. Rose Quartz's egg color chart shows real colors, but uses fictitious names for each tint. Each tint is not controlled by one gene. A lot of it is the color of egg of each parent and the color goes between or sometimes beyond or below her parents darkness of egg.
There are genes for brown and blue, but there are others that are not well known.

Right... Yes... If it does end up being brown it'll be tint 1 or 2 most likely. :/

I don't have all of my charts made yet.

Hi everyone. Sorry for not being very active, I feel pretty unhelpful about this project. Anything I can do to help?

Splash is a modifier, co-dominant with black. Dilutes black as well as gold.

BBR is simply gold duckwing, the wild type. Don't need to do it again.

Red pyle is tricky for me. Haven't done it before.
But here goes. Turns out it is pretty much what I expected.

Ok. Done with the genes that @Cyprus requested. How about some more?

Hi @BlackHackle

Hellooo!!

Splash is a modifier, co-dominant with black. Dilutes black as well as gold.

The dilution effect of Splash on gold is very subtle and only certain none red enhanced birds, I would say that it has the greatest effect on the Birchen ER e allele, I would say that homozygous dominant white has more of a dilution effect on gold than Splash(Bl/Bl)


A clear example of the above assessment is the Brown Red OEGB, the Brown Reds are turned into Lemon Blues with the addition of the heterozygous form of Splash(Bl/bl+) and even further diluted by homozygous Splash(Bl/Bl).

a few examples:

Brown Red not red enhanced

Lemon Blue, diluted by heterozygous Splash(Bl/bl+)
