D'Uccle genetics question

[greenthumb89]

ok so porcelain duccles carry the mille fleur and the lavender gene right?

so if i was to set up a breeding pen of them and had 2 mille fleur hens, 2 lavender hens, and 2 porcelain hens with a porcelain roo or 2. i could genetically have the possibility of getting all the colors right? dont know much about bird color genetics but am trying was thinking this was along the same lines as the BBS color combination

Yes.

With porcelain rooster(s) with those hens, you'll get porcelains, mille fluers(out of mille hens and those would be carrying lavender. Lavender is recessive so it requires a double dose to express).

I don't know all of the genes that make up for this pattern so I don't know if the birds out of the lavender hens would be solid lavender, smutty lavender(with off color on necks) or what.. in any case they won't have the mottling or the mille fluer pattern(mottling is recessive).

The color in a mille is produced by the interaction of the columbian gene, the sex linked gold gene and the dominant wheaten gene. Darker ( as in more eumelanin or black pigment) colored milli are most likely brown and not wheaten. They also carry the mottling gene.


eWh/eWh , Co/Co, mo/mo, s+/s+ or s+/_.

e+/e+ wild type and eb/eb will also produce a millie


porcelain x mille fleur= mille fleur

lavender X mille fleur = black and black leaking red or silver

lavender X porcelain = lavender or lavender leaking pinkish red

Is this correct:

Porcelain X porcelain= porcelain
porcelain X black= black ( spilt to mottled and lavender)
Black ( spilt to mottled and lavender) X Black ( spilt to mottled and lavender) = Lavender,
lavender (spilt to motted) and Lavender mottled
Lavender X Lavender=lavender
Lavender (spilt to mottled ) X Lavender (spit to mottled) = Lavender & Lavender Mottled
porcelain X lavender = lavender (split to mottled)
Lavender (spilt to mottled) X Lavender (spit to mottled) = lavender mottled, lavender, porcelain, isabela colombians (non mottled porcelain) isabela duckings (plain & mottled)
