How is this picture that I took?

I don't know; I don't have a working PC (Chromebooks stink, but that's what I have right now. As soon as I get a charger cord for my ol' faithful dinosaur, that will change,) and I haven't got confirmation that that's what he(?)'s looking for.

My personal opinion is that we want the feathers outlined. I think that chook is probably too dark.

The feathers are outlined.
I wouldn't say she is dark. As a rule, Wyandottes have thick lacing.
Probably better luck with a Silver Sebright.

I know right!
I'm a little bit unsure of what to say right now. So inexperienced and stuff.


The one thing I really couldn't figure out from genetics is pumpkin. Is it a dilution of black? What would it look like on a black base? Does it count as the ginger dilution of black like the O gene in cats, or is the O gene in cats not actually a ginger dilution of black at all?
And the complexity of egg color genetics. @Rose Quartz

@AMERAUCANAS4REAL is this cockerel pumpkin? I've been trying to figure what this coloring has been called for a while:

No. Looks like a very leaky mille fleur.

It's close, but looks like a lot of d'Uccles I've seen.

I don't mean the patterning, just the orange color of his feathers. I've been calling it "dark buff" but I don't think that's right.

It's the typical buff of D'Uccles.
It is called Vermilion.

Nupe. That's just red leakage. Blacks get leakage sometimes when crossed with non black birds or don't have melanism. My Starling, AmxAustralorp, is an intense version of that.
She has messy gold double lacing, even though she really doesn't, it's just leakage.

Neglecting mille fluer breeding could very well give leakage.

Actually, most hatchery d'Uccles roos I've seen have it.
