Can we make one?
I think we will sort of have to make one in that to make the program work we will need to specify what chickens have what genes, but since we are planning to limit which breeds we're dealing with, we are trying to figure out if there's a way to simplify it a bit...? I think thats what A4R was asking...
 
i found this the person who posted this had a website they had gotten the info from, but it no longer exists. looks like pink might just be PART of the blue egg color:

"Quote:

Kennedy and Vevers (1973) also did a chromatographic analysis of the egg-shell pigments of the Araucano fowl, finding that these egg shells contained protoporphyrin, biliverdin IXc• and its zinc chelate, and traces of coproporphyrin I. These eggs vary in color, especially through various shades or tints of blue and green. The absorption spectra of different fractions showed the basic color differences: deep pink for the fraction identified as protoporphyrin, deep greenish-blue for the biliverdin IXc• fraction, and bright emerald-green for the pigment chemically identified as the zinc chelate of biliverdin IXc•. "
 
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+
