Karen, even with glossaries I have repeatedly seen how in application, terms are subject to human interpretation. Makes it harder for new people to fully understand the current situation and how to fix, or maintain.

I agree, Arielle.

I actually have multiple breeds i need gene codes for but for starters here is snowy our white Ameraucana:


We also need gene codes for our Silver Laced Wyandottes:




Not Sure what this one is...


We have more than one breeding program going on. Green egg layers, Lavender Ameraucanas, Trying to breed back to Blue, and just establishing pure breeds

SLW: e^b/e^b Co/Co Pg-Ml/Pg-Ml S/(S) R/? w/w Id/(Id)
S/(S) means S/S male S/- female

The salmon breasted pullet: e+/e+ (or e+/e^b) S/-

Hello do you know what gene effects the color of a males neck feathers thank you

 

[cubakid]

Males neck color is based on silver or gold (sex linked color). Red necks are typical of gold, white necks are typical of silver and males can be heterozygous and have goldish straw colored hackles named golden. This color can be affected by dilutions, melanisers, and other genes like autosomal red.
