BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

I'm also having 3 allergic reactions at once: Cat, Dog and Peanuts.

GENES WITH VISIBLE EFFECT AND THICKNESS
OR EXTERNAL PIGMENTATION OF EGGSHELLS
Among 12 loci studied in one population, two, concerned
with plumage color, show an association with thickness and external
pigmentation of eggshells : Pullets with extended black compared with
restricted black plumage (E locus) and pullets with colored (ii) vs non-black
plumage (Ii) lay eggs with significantly thicker and more intensely pigmented
shells. A similar but less marked tendency seems to be associated, for shell thickness, with two other plumage color loci (C and S).

yep A4R you're gonna have to figure out the E thing.

On top of this, my newest D'Uccle pullet is falling over and acting half dead.........
She also weighs hardly any more than Patience.
Today is not a good day.
I gave her NutriDrench and that's all I can do.

Don't die. Take some antihistamines or something.

hmm... that is the end of the indepth discussion of egg shell color. I've got a gene code for blue though - Finally -

SLCO1B3 gene influences biliverdin, & the O mutation modified expression of SLCO1B3 in the shell gland/uterus of blue egg laying chickens.

Does that mean slate and white are dominant over yellow?

White legs=W+/W+Id/Id
Slate legs=W+/W+id+/id+
Yellow legs=w/wId/Id

it looks to me like white is fully dominant. and slate is co-dominant with yellow.

So after sorting through a lot of information I've never had to sort before.... grand total
White legs=W+/W+Id/Idewh/ewh
Slate= W+/W+id+/id+e+/e+ carrying white
Slate= w/wid+/id+e+/e+ carrying yellow
Yellow legs=w/wId/Idewh/ewh(Just so you know the e gene is indeterminate here.)
Willow legs=w/wid+/id+e+/e+

fixed it, worked out the kinks. Some parts of it are still not adding up.

Do you think I should post a pic of my ginger-red OEGB hen? She has blue legs however, so I'm not sure if she fits the standard...

Also I have a partridge silkie but he/she is only a chick at the moment.

My duckwing OEGB roo has slate legs also
