Can you breed a buff toulouse to a gray toulouse?

Another sexlink colour combo is Brown Male over White female, that produces Brown females and blue/splash males(start off blue and get whiter each year).

At least that combo has been 100% accurate for the 5 yrs I was breeding my brown china to a white embden, every year I thought they would prove my suspicion wrong but the hens were always brown and the males always splash.

Hi Cottage Rose,

I've been breeding for about 20yrs now and have developed many new colour varieties in fowls and waterfowl and re-created a lot of breeds not found here in Australia.
The biggest problem with genetics is it all depends on how pure the line is that you are using. We assume they are quite pure but as with all science it's really best guess.
I have sebs and love them. Here we have mainly whites, a few grey and a few grey saddlebacks (females only). I'm working on the buff and blue at the moment but blue or buff geese of any breed are extremely rare here.
So where's the seb forum? I would definatley like to join.

The white sebs (also the embden) are a combination of the sex linked recessive spotting (saddleback) sp gene and the dominant dilution (dom white) Sd gene.

The White Chinese is autosomal recessive white (c).

Buff is recessive.

Blue is incompletely dominant , the same as andalusian blue in fowls.

The seb feather gene is incompletely dominant which is why there are both smotth breasted and frizzle breasted birds.

When I get a few minutes I'll do up bit of table for you showing the interaction of the genes in the sebs. I had a very nice seb gander a few years back that was tufted. Beautiful bird but he died during a heat wave last year. I basically had him as a pet. He was very friendly and being on a major highway I always had people stopping to ask what he was.

Hope this is a start for you.

We'd love for you to join us on the Sebastopol forum!

Please make sure you go to the breeding forum and read the various information we've posted on color breedings. This is info we've gleaned from what others have told us and/or experienced from the breedings they've personally done.
I get frustrated due to all the conflicting information.
I think white Sebs must carry a color gene because people are getting gray (female) and splash (male)offspring when breeding a blue gander to a white goose.
If they didn't carry some color gene then I would think the F1 offspring would be all white.
I've heard everything from white Sebs all carry a blue gene to a saddleback gene, so its hard to decipher what is factual vs. misinformation.
Please do enlighten us with any information.
Looking forward to your participation!

I would love to see a chart-please do post it!

You can, and it is a sex-linked gene, but the buff offspring will have grey in their feathering. You probably wouldn't be able to show a sexlinked buff and get good markings on the feather color.

I'm pretty sure the grey also has a buff tint to it.
