BYC Genetic/Breed Calculator Huge Task Ahead!

hard feathered as in fast growing feathers and soft feathered as in slow growing feathers? That is a sexlinked factor, symbol K. Slow growth is dominant

No, not slow feathering vs fast feathering.
Some breeds have "hard" feathering genes like Aseels where the feathers lay tight against the body and are stiff.
Others are soft feathered breeds like Orpingtons, where the feathers have volume and are soft.

Crossing earlobe colors is a mess. O, and it is not related to eggshell color

I know that.
And that's all I know about it. I read a loooong article that basically stated they had no idea what genes made earlobe color.

I learned in one of my animal science lectures a few weeks ago that there are companies that can map an organism’s whole entire genome for ~$1,000.

Thanks. Yes, I am aware that it is not related to eggshell color.
How about leg color? I am aware that yellow is recessive and I know about dermal melanin and fibromelanin.
We have a doc around here somewhere with shank color genetics.

Do you have any info on the possible resulting of crossing a hard feathered bird with a soft feathered bird?

I don't have the article.
But dermal melanin id+ is recessive sexlinked.
And yellow w is recessive.
Slate female id+/- W+/W+
Slate male id+/id+
Yellow female Id/- w/w
Yellow male Id+/Id+ w/w
White female Id/- W+/W+
White male Id/Id W+/W+
Willow female id+/- w/w
Willow male id+/id+ w/w
The shade of leg color is diluted by genes like barring and blue that dilute feather colors.
Birchen and black have black legs while barred and blue birchen have slate legs and wheaten and partridge have slate legs.

Fibromelanism which is not just for shank color, but whole body distribution except plumage, is dominant. I haven't figured out what affects skin color.


Here is all my knowledge on eye color.
Bk+dominant sex linked
bk recessive sex linked black
Pk+ dominant
pk recessive pink eyes
Green+* green eye inhibitor- dominant
green* green eyes- recessive.
Pearl+* pearl eye inhibitor-dominant
pearl* pearl eyes- recessive.
*fictitious genotypes.
***id+/id+ can darken they color of an eye. E/E and ER/ER can also. Patterns such as barring can dilute it.***
I haven't figured out what alot of the genotypes are.

Hi guys,

I started working on a dialogflow app (google assistant voice) as a portal to a chicken calculator.
How would/could one word the following question?
What are the genes of my chicken?
Goal of this question is to start the dialog and to get the gender of the chicken.

What are all the synonyms for rooster and hen?

How would one describe the color of a chicken?
my hen is a ...

From the words given here I would have to deduce the color aspects of that chicken

common misspellings

at the end of the dialog you would know the genotype of your chicken (as far as can be deduced) and I could link it to a calculator, eg the one this thread is about

thanks in advance for all suggestions

That's very cool.
Does it also state the phenotype of the chicken?
For example
Gold duckwing for Brown Leghorn
Red duckwing for black breasted red
Partridge for Partridge Wyandotte
Black with red leakage
Laced blue

Here is a start at least, not all the info you asked for but its something to build on

What are the genes of my chicken? what are my chickens genes? how do i figure out what genes my chicken has?

synonyms for rooster : Roo, cockerel, cock are used by all. stag and Bullstag are often used by people with gamefowl etc

synonyms for hen : Pullet

synonym for chicken: Biddy, chook.

I'm sure there are more synonyms but its not 8am yet lol

I will leave an expert to answer color part

Cool

 

[Amer]

Oh, I have an idea. I could trace birds from Poultry Press and digitalize them.

For our pictures?
There are a TON of approved photo submissions of various breeds and colors on a different thread for a different project.
