color/pattern lingo translated with pics?

[Tabatha]

Where can I find a list of feather colors/patterns with their names, genetic lingo (example Co/co+,db+/db+), WITH example pictures? If there isn't a thread or a learning center post, can someone please create one? I don't know enough about this to create on myself and those chicken calculators don't give very detailed examples. I mean, I need to see actual pics, not drawings...lol. I want (and a lot of other members do too) a "chicken color/pattern for dummies" post.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you...

What do you mean? I wasn't trying to sound hateful...maybe ill understand the calculator after I learn, but for now, I need to learn those things. We all had to start somewhere, and I'm starting here.
