It's not guaranteed that I will be the coder.
If someone with a lot of experience comes along, they can gladly do it. My dad and I will at least try to work out how the code should be put together. I am not sure how capable we will be at making it available to be embedded into a website.

This is IMHO an impossible task. For instance there are several strains of chickens known as "Blues" Montgomery Travelers, Miner Blues, or Arkansas Travelers are just 3 examples. The "test" for purity in a "BLUE" strain is to breed and inbreed brother and sister together several times and if the offspring begin to throw Pyle colored chickens

then your "Blues" are "PURE" In the meantime you will get brown reds, BB Reds, Grays, Duck Wing Grays, maybe a Black chicken or two, a White, some Pumpkins and many other colors and shades that no one can or will agree on.

Here is a small sampling of different colors and there is no fast and hard rule about what color produces what other color or colors. For instance Gray is dominant but if two gray chickens (a Hen and a Rooster both have a gene for the color Black Breasted Red, then appromaxly 25% of these chicks hatched from a GRAY will NEVER produce another GRAY chicken. However the 75% of the 1/2 Gray 1/2 BBR birds will continue to produce the occasional BBR @ approximately 25%. The above 19 color variations just scratch the surface and there are 100s of different color variations besides the 19 shown above. Therefor it becomes a daunting task to breed the BBR color out of a strain or family of 1/2 GRAY 1/2 BLACK BREASTED RED chickens. You're much more likely to enjoy success as a breeder if you will choice a strain, stick with it and try to improve the strain that you already own. In other words every out cross is a gamble and without a sharp sharp hatchet to go along with a cold cold heart you may never get your old original strain of chickens back.
