Creating Experimental Black Crele Chickens (Different Genetics, new variety)

[The Moonshiner]

If gold/silver is sex linked then why is it required for making laced feather patterns on chickens?

It isn't required

Okay, the gold gene is a requirement for making lacing upon feathers.

Still incorrect

Yes, but it pretty much didn't say it had to be silver for silver lacing, so I guess gold is okay to use too.

Also incorrect

You're misinformed.
Every chicken is either gold or silver. Roosters can be gold and silver. As said they're sex linked.
Lacing doesn't have anything to do with or need gold/silver. They don't have anything to do with each other except gold/silver influences color.
Silver laced are silver. Gold laced are gold.
Lacing is a pattern.
Same with say Columbian. Columbian is silver and buff Columbian is gold. Same pattern different color because of gold/silver. Not needed to have the pattern it just determines the color in the pattern.

Not, exactly true. The chick I have is all silver no buff, but buff is its genetics, therefore it won't show. Buff Orpington/Barred Rock X Buff Orpington/Barred Rock.

Genetics 101
Black makes everything except dominant white black. Sometimes there is leakage. Black is dominant over buff.

OP you need better texts to read. Sorry, but you do This whole gold/silver thing is grossly misinformed.

My name's not OP, unless you're referring to a transformer from the movies. You can call me Misty, or MysteryChicken.

That's not really lacing, I believe.

You told me what OP meant once. It's also short for Optimus. Get it?

If it's not really lacing, then what would you call it? Those are actually the top feathers, not the feathers underneath making that pattern.

Here's why you're having trouble getting buff to come through.
Chickens who express buff need three key genes.

1. The red gene
2. The dilute gene
3. Black restrictors

So the problem comes that in the first BO x BR outcross you create splits. Then breeding those together is your best chance of rejoining all 3 genes needed. If a bird has red but no dilute or black restricor, you get black barred with red leakage. A bird with red and dilute and barred will probably be black barred with maybe some buff leakage. Uniform buff would require a black restrictor gene but then there goes the black barring.
