Haha, I already know how to steal pictures off the internet, I just feel bad about it, even though I cite my sources.

Ope, yeah I'd just been following that thread for ages and that was my first thought when you were looking for pictures of gold-based dun.

There is always the option of citing the post as your source, though. I don't think that user logs in very often or I'd say reach out and ask directly.

Yeah
I just took the rusty black Sumatra picture off of BYC

BYC is the best place to find the obscure genotypes.

Here's Dun Birchen. She doesn't have the gold in her neck yet, or if she will get any at all.

Dun on Extended Black. Third picture has Extended Black chick for comparison.

I've probably ran 1000 simulations on my head trying to explain how Autosomal Red affects the salmon breast on Wildtype hens and it's simply impossible. Autosomal red is very real, but the lack of it will not make wildtype hens have a Silver breast. Every single female I've seen with Silver breast is a e+/eb or e+/ebc heterozygote. The nomenclature is also not correct as it was submitted. Autosomal red should be represented as Ap+ as it's found on wildtype RJF. Yet Mr. Reeder saw fit to name it Ap and lack of Autosomal Red as ap+

How about Dun, & Khaki?
Half of the offspring I've hatched from Dun are black, while the other half Dun. Got one Dun so dark it's almost black.

Dun is like blue. Dun x Black: Half Black and half Dun. Dun x Dun : 25% Khaki, 25% Black and 50% Dun

Think I've got that bit down.

That would explain the d’Uccle mix having it.
Is e^bc really a thing? I thought it was but then I saw the Henk commentary on it that makes me think it’s just partridge.

Glad to see I was right about autosomal red. I saw some experts say other things and I thought “that can’t be right” so I just spoke out of instinct.
I saw Mr. Reeder also said red junglefowl are red duckwing (having mahogany) and I believe they are actually gold duckwing.
