I'm just starting into the world of chicken/poultry genetics and just having a hard time visualizing things and keeping things straight. Basically, I've been using the kippen chicken calculator and doing some research but a bit confused. Right now I'm trying to figure out what the offspring of a
Mottled Ancona Rooster (EE,coco, dbdb, pgpg, mlml, ChaCha, mhmh, didi, IgIg, cbcb, SS, bb, ChocChoc, ii blbl momo mottled, CC, LavLav)
With my RIR hen (E^Wh/E^Wh, CoCo, dbdb, pgpg, mlml, ChaCha, MhMh red, didi, lglg, cbcb, s-, b-, Choc-, ii, blbl, MoMo, CC, LavLav)
Would look like. The calculator says I get Black unicolr/self^E and below are what I get for male and female offspring.
Male: EE^Wh, coCO, dbdb, pgpg, mlml, ChaCha, mhMh, didi, IgIg, cbcb ii, blbl, LavLav
Female: EE^Wh, coCO, dbdb, pgpg, mlml, ChaCha, mhMh, didi, IgIg, cbcb ii, blbl, LavLav
The photos show black with green hackles/bits on the tail feather for the rooster and pure black on the hen, which makes sense to me with the E^Wh on both...but what about the Coco? I see the note that says no effect under birchen or extended black - but does that apply because of the E^Wh? Also then why does it say under phenotype that females might have black in the tail?
Mhmh would mean a dominate Mh, right? Which is a red enhancer and limited black restrictor. So how would this look?
Ss - this is where I'm getting confused on how silver will affect all of this. I feel like I can spot it on the examples I see on line and in my own chickens (of other breeds), but really having a hard time figuring out how this would come out here. And in the chicks? Would they be sex linked?
Also the Momo, I figure that just means hens and roos would carry one copy of the mottled gene
