Somehow, I found a way to yap about the simplest gene out there...

I forgot about this one.

@Debbie292d is there a way I can edit the first post?
I like having this thread as an educational reference. I didn't know there was a point where you can't edit a first post anymore.

I am working on reading through your thread in my spare time @Amer . I have become quite proficient on turkey genetics, and appreciate your blog as a resource to fill in the gaps in my knowledge of chicken genetics.

@Amer would you care to take a stab at these birds and tell me what is going on with them genetically? They started being thrown from an old line of silver duckwing American Gamefowl. These birds all originated from one pair, both directly from the pair and also from taking a son and backcrossing to the mother. They also throw regular looking silver duckwing looking birds with black breasts in the same clutches, along with these odd birds.

The dubbed bird is the original rooster that began throwing the odd birds. The hen is a typical looking silver duckwing (not pictured).

This pullet came nearly silver and is very striking.

The odd males come with fawn colored breasts, and not the typical black breasts you would see on silver duckwings. There is also some brownish red color in their wing bows, tails, and saddles.

The wheaten hen was just in his pen temporarily. She is no relation to the birds in the post.
