I was very close on the Genotype if you think about it, only missing the eb part, he was e+/eb(I called e+/eWh, and while not right, the chick down is clearly of a e+ heterozygote), the he was also S/s+(yep I called that one right), Co/co+(right again, excep the Co is coming from the Millies not buffs), I did miss the recessive mottling(Mo/mo+) but can you really blame me for that?

That is due to Heterozygous Columbian Co/co+ not completely restricting the feather melanin to the tail like Homozygous would Co/Co.

Thanks for posting pics of your eggs. Are you able to sex eggs by egg shape? I´ve heard people can do it, they say the pointer eggs are males and the rounder eggs are females, any input on that?

The method of sexing chicks by egg shape is completely false. I've tried it once.

I have to say that I was ... and AM ... duly impressed!

Yeah. Have any questions you'd like to ask? Or have any ideas to share?

Not at the moment. I'm not a geneticist, so I won't pretend to fully understand how it all works. Technically, I'm not even a fully-fledged (pun intended!) chicken-person yet. I'm tagging along, learning as I go, and throwing my two-cents into the ring whenever the muse strikes or a new question arises ... which seems to be pretty often, these days.
But here's one:
What do you know about crossing a rose comb with a single comb? I have Nankin Bantams - mostly rose combs. They'll occasionally throw a stray single (I have one young roo with a really impressive set of points on him.) Once in a while, I get a very pale body color. It looks like standard coloring with a "dilute" gene in it somewhere, much like the way the diluted coloring affects the chestnut on a horse, turning it palomino. I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but it's only shown up in males (three) so far. It's weird!

I'm still learning to, and doing a little experimenting with crossbreeding to see what happens. What crossbred chickens have you made?
