Very interesting! Following...

I'd like that!

Let me know when you want them?

Let me know when you want them?

Whenever you can!
If you have dun on gold duckwing that would be best but if not, I don’t mind, just send me a couple of examples of its effects on different colors.

You can post them here, if you like.

A little hesistant to post this one because doubtless someone will disagree with me on autosomal red and they would probably be right! Try as I might I can't wrap my head around it. I have seen information that completely contridicts other info I have seen about it. In the end, I just had to form an opinion about who to believe. But the information on gold and silver is sound.

Spoiler: Silver, Gold, and Autosomal Red

Anyway, if anyone knows how it really works, I'd be happy to know.

Autosomal Red(Ar/Ar) is something I'm studying to.
My Easter Egger rooster I had was a good example of how it can behave with Silver.

His son is mixed with Red Wheaten Malay who's split for Duckwing.

Autosomal red is confusing because some people say it is responsible for salmon breasts in females, despite the face that silver Leghorns and silver wheaten chickens breed true, all the while having salmon coloring in females and white shoulders on males.
But I’ve also found silver phoenix hens to simultaneously (on the list of words I cannot spell) have washed out breasts and brownish ground color.

I've got Dun Partridge Silver, Dun Partridge Gold/Silver Split adults.

Chicks I have that are Dun are: Dun Wheaten/Duckwing Splits.
One has a new recessive gene I'm studying that I call Cinnamon. It causes an extention of color similar to Columbian, & Db.

Other Duns I have are based on Birchen.

Ok. I was hoping for something gold based so I could show how it doesn’t dilute gold but I guess I’ll use whatever I can get.

The pullet chicks, & Birchen based ones are gold based.

Washed out breast on Silver Duckwing I experienced once.
I think it happens to those Split for Autosomal Red.
She is Silver Duckwing OEGB/Mille Fleur D'uccle X OEGB.
