are these your own photos? (would we be able to use them?)

So the cool thing I learned about leg color today.
Ok, so possible fathers of this Easter Egger pullet I hatched a while ago...
Buckeye wheaten based yellow legs
Welsummer duckwing based yellow legs
Mother
Ameraucana wheaten based slate shanks
So how in the world did I get white legs out of two colors that aren't white? Genetics.
If the sire was
w/w, Id/Id, e+/e+
or w/w, Id, Id, ewh/ewh
And the dam was
W+/W+, id+,id+, ewh/ewh
Then the offspring would be
W+/w,Id/id+, ewh/ewh or
W+/w, Id/id+, e+/ewh
White legs because white is dominant! I think I finally get it. I hope the dad is a Welsummer, so I can get olive eggs.

Cool ^u^

uh.... except the brown is co-dominant, more like, Pp/Pp if that makes any sense...

the way I intended to write it would be:

o+/o+ = white
o+/o+, Pp1 = light brown
o+/o+, Pp2 = slightly darker brown
o+/o+, Pp7 = medium brown
o+/o+, Pp13 = marans dark brown

O/O = Blue
O/O, Pp1 = light blue-green
O/O, Pp2 = slightly darker blue-green
O/O, Pp7 = medium blue-green
O/O, Pp13 = Olive egger

O/o+ = blue, or lighter blue
O/o+, Pp1 = light green
O/o+, Pp2 = slightly darker green
O/o+, Pp7 = medium green
O/o+, Pp13 = Olive egger

the brown color works differently from the blue and white it works with them instead of completely canceling them out.
I know that each gene isn't contributing the exact same amount of pigment, but breeding can result in lighter or darker eggs based on what the parent stock has. So my brown numbers are more just a way to say how much brown pigment has been expressed.

I like it, though I thought with incomplete dominance you could use the (') prime symbol?

I used kip calculator to see her color before to see if she was part Welsummer or Buckeye, looking again it looks like Welsummer! Yay!

uhh... what is a prime symbol? (I'll probably find out once I start looking at feather genetics, and can alter the sheet I have so that what we're working on together is consistent with writing styles)

And now I forgot. I'll look it up.

Nope...got them from an old file on my computer of someone elses

I couldn't find it. I found out genes have to be italicized though.

ok, same with the other picture you shared it was a brown... d'anver? or d'uccle? I'll take them out of the update if they aren't yours I just figured if we had pictures then it'd be better to bring them along in the update so we didn't have to go digging again.

@Rose Quartz how are you organizing the egg genetics right now? Spreadsheet?

@AMERAUCANAS4REAL are you the one organizing the leg colors? If so, have you made a spreadsheet yet?
If you do, share it with me so I can edit and I will start working on plumage on there alongside whoever else is doing plumage.

I will shortly set up a comb and other physical characteristics spreadsheet to share.
