BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

I added Legbar

This makes no sense to me..

what I said or the genetics stuff?

I like how straight forward this is

me too.

At the moment, we are just gathering information and studying poultry genetics.

Sounds great to me!

When I'm designing new web-projects I often try to find a relatively cheap/easy way to do a "proof of concept". Sometimes that involved drawing out the individual pages in Photoshop, building processes in Excel / Google Docs, etc. Then after using those to figure out the look / flow, I have it build into a website / app.

Unfortunately, I have ZERO experience with genetics / breeding, so I'd have to rely on y'all to figure that out

I guess the silver-lining to me knowing nothing... if y'all can put it together in a way that I understand it, then anybody (developers, users, etc.) should be able to figure it out too!

Perhaps. I'd have to get a better idea of what's going to be involved. I won't have much free time for the next few months but I'll look into it. It sounds like there's a spreadsheet or database people are adding info to right now .Is there a link to that somewhere?

would you be willing to give an example of what you mean? I'm ok, with drawing on the computer, I might be able to put something like that together. (I have no idea how to do stuff up in excel though.)

People don't even know the standard genes of egg color anyways. Brown is an open color. Let's focus on brown's relation to other egg colors, like blue, green, and white.

what do you mean by brown is an open color?

do you mean that it's more of a topping than an actual color? where white is the base, blue is dominant over white, but brown is more of an alteration on either the white or blue?

Copy that!
We've already got a spreadsheet going that will cover the physical traits of the breeds going into the calculator. After that, we will be working on making another spreadsheet that covers the relation of color and pattern genes as to what is dominant, recessive, allelic etc.
There is also a work in progress to figure out egg color genetics.
By the time we're done, it should be easy to follow The hope is that the average user, who may know nothing about genetics, can take two (maybe more) different breeds of different color variations, get a clearcut result and have the result clearly explained to them so that they can understand where the traits in resulting offspring came from.

WOO! a clear direction we're going is forming. I'm so freaking excited! I've wanted a calculator like this for so long, but thought it was way too much work to ever actually get done.

Understood! We all are seriously intent on getting this done!
