Color genetics thread.

Half blue half black most likely, may or may not show leakage

Thanks. I wish i knew more about color genetics. That chicken calc is not in layman's terms. lol I want to breed a Blue Laced Red & can't figure it out. :/ And most ppl are not forthcoming about how they make their colors, which of course, I completely understand.

breeding the offspring of the original cross together may produce a small portion of blue laced reds depending on the hens genetics, the EE that makes the black to show the blue can cover a lot

Thanks for the input. I think if I have an open pen, I will do just what you have said. Thanks again!

Can someone tell what color or pattern a chicken is? I'll try to explain it, but I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.

It looks something like a silver Duckwing but doesn't have the salmon breast like a silver Duckwing. Just the pattern about the same color but maybe a tad bit darker of the spot or pattern.

It is not quite a a campine barring but definitely not like barring in a Plymouth Rock or cuckoo.

I have a hen this color and don't know what to call it as far a color names go.

I've seen on the calculator ( color) a quail color name and quill ( I don't know what those colors/patterns would be), but would it maybe be something in that order?

Pic would definitely help...

But putting these up to help you get the colors in perspective... NOT my pics...

This is quail...

And silver quill...

Definitely not either of these.

I'll get a picture tomorrow and post it.

Thanks for the pictures though, not I know what quail and quill look like.

No prob, draye...

The quail is very distinctive as it always has a very light colored feather shaft in a darker feather color...

She looks quite a bit like this. Picked this off Feathersite. She might have the dark stripes around the neck if she had neck feathers.
She is Naked Necked, her mana was an Easter Egger though.

I have an EE kinda similar... think that is close to Silver Penciled, but I could be mistaken...

This is my EE...

Nice hen.

Dies she gave a salmon colored breast or just the same coloring in her breast area?
