BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

[BlackHackle]

Awesome!
As far as the code goes, I know how the layout should be done to make this thing work. I just don't speak the language, so I don't know all the little important details.

I've already kind of figured out how to make the genetic presets for the breeds and the list of colors. I haven't yet figured out how to actually make it calculate a cross if X is dominant over Y excepting Z blah blah blah.

I am fiddling around with Kippen Jungle to see how he did it and it is pretty straight forward. You have to research or follow his idea of which genes are more dominant than others, etc.

^ I feel like I am of no help so I have to do something

yep you guys can keep helping Cyprus get her list done. I think I have a pretty good list of what breeds lay what color eggs, it's just a matter of filling in the blanks for that.

you could try doing some feathering color genetics research too if you're up to it. I only took a quick glance at this but it's somewhere to start at least

Here is what I came up for the genetic makeup of the Rhode Island Red:

This is only the custom genes associated with the bird
E - Wheaten (This choice determined if the hens were to have partridge feathering patterns or wheaten)
Co - Co/Co columbian (Gene which determined the base design for the RIR pattern)
Mh - Mh/Mh red (Obviously the red)
S - s+/s+ gold (If Silver were in it it would overthrow all the other coloring like the Red)

Which breed is this @LilJoe ?

Oh crud! Sorry. Lakenvelder

This makes no sense to me..

Got the Lakenvelders done!

I like how straight forward this is

Hey everyone, fascinating discussion!! I love seeing our members getting passionate about stuff like this and working together!!!

have any developers offered up their help yet?

no not really yet. I'm just now compiling a list of people who have offered to help and what they can do.

I didn't read through the entire thread, and a LOT (most) of the stuff around breeding is way over my head, but I wanted to add my 2 cents:

1. We don't want to copy anything that others have already done. If we can create something new that's different / better, then I'm game to support it!
2. It would be awesome if the community could come together and make this happen (design, coding, etc.), but in the event that we don't have the people / resources within the community, BYC is happy to help where we can.
3. Ideally, the members would come together to create the idea, framework, process/workflow, design, data, calculations, etc. and then we (BYC) could find someone to code it all up (example, into JavaScript) to run on BYC. I even wonder if building a working version in Google Docs / Excel, would make it much easier for a developer to then code in a web-based version?

So, keep up the great work, and keep me posted on how BYC can help!

Hi @Nifty-Chicken , we are soo glad we got your attention! That is the plan, to create something that works and that has never been made...of course how to do that has been a bit of our problem. At the moment, we are just gathering information and studying poultry genetics.

Thanks for stopping by!!
