BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

Sorry for not getting back to you—I had to do an assisted hatch this morning, and then work until seven. Studied up on egg genetics over my lunch break, but there wasn't much but speculation that I could find.

Have you found anything interesting on cuticle colour?

 

[Rose Quartz]

I understand, but I don't believe we should speculate on the gen called P or P+ P1, P2... since the P and p+ have been already assigned to Peak comb(P) and single comb(p+), I would try to keep it as simple as possible, for example white egg breed crossed with blue egg bree will yield light blue eggs, white eggs crossed with brow eggs will produce tinted egg and so for, but not assigning a specific genes that have not been assigned yet due to the highly complex nature of brow egg shell trait

Yep I can change that. I wasn't really sure what to put there so I'll figure something out. Maybe just a ** will work?

as far as I could see cuticle doesn't have it's own color, but can overlap with the brown pigment, and the brown pigment glows red under UV light. So I've decided pink is brown, and different things can make it be visible. I'll just put pink in the foot note since there's no way to say genetically how it would be expressed.

Fm- fibromelanosis, dominant gene

Fm- fibromelanosis, dominant gene

is that for brown egg shell?

is that for brown egg shell?

No—that's Svarthonas (sp?) and Silkies and Cemanis that have black muscle/skin.

I'm going out to get Ice Cream soon.
Here is the spreadsheet that I am working on; feel free to inform me if something I have written down is wrong.

For all you breed enthusiasts out there, if you know the correct skin and eye color of a breed please let me know. I am finding that to be the most difficult information to find.

In my experience, my Barred Rock's/RIR's skin is white.

Is there a featherless gene in chickens?

Is there a featherless gene in chickens?

I don't know if there is a gene for it or if it is something that cancels out but I know that naked chickens are a real thing.

I was thinking because I have some featherless Australorps
