For everyone writing genetics; do whatever you gotta do to have it make sense to you. But somewhere in there use the words of "dominant, recessive, allelic, etc" and "Dominant over...... Allelic with....." Whatever applies.
We need to simplify it like that so whoever codes can follow.
ok... once I understand what allelic means I will add that stuff in there. :D
 
@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.
I'm done.
I don't know how to make a spreadsheet though.
 
@Cyprus here's my spread sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OOjHH5UaHbd4qoRNPF0jvDu4g26H42NZWdK403pCX8w/edit?usp=sharing

I may have to alter it a bit.

here's an explanation on how it would work.
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'm done.
I don't know how to make a spreadsheet though.
if you would prefer I can... once I'm done with the update.
