I thought golden neck was dominant white over regular mille fleur.

So golden neck over normal mille split to blue, produces all blue? But golden neck breeds true though, right? So if you order golden neck, or breed golden neck to golden neck you get only golden neck?

Blue isn't recessive so nothing is split to blue, it just doesn't have a blue gene. Splash(golden neck) , breeds true, blue does not.

this chart might clarify if you replace black with mille fleur, & splash with golden neck.

That would be a buff mottled I think, which looks similar

Can someone tell me more about blue mille fleur colororation? I have a basic understanding of blue coloration, that it does not breed true, so half will be blue, a quarter black, and a quarter splash. How does this work when combined with the mille fleur color? Are half of the birds blue, a a quarter normal mille, and a quarter spalsh mille ? (what would that even look like?) Anyone have any pictures or insight?

blue mottled X mille fleur= 50% blue mille, 25% black mottled with gold leakage?

blue mille X mille fleur= 50% blue mille, 50% regular mille

blue mille X blue mille= 50% blue mille, 25% regular mille, 25% splash mille (golden neck)

I breed theses bitties. I started with a blue mottled under a reg Mille, hatched 1 blue Mille boy and blue mottled. Put the blue Mille boy over reg Mille's got only reg Mille and blue Mille but most were blue Mille, have never got a golden neck or splash from them. I will be putting him over blue Mille girls this month as they will be laying here soon....will let you know how that goes

Quote: I had my friend do it on the genetics calculator and it comes up dominant white over mille fleur gives white patterned gold mille fleur.It does not turn the body white just the wings and tail. It takes away the black . Splash is a white bird with splashes of color not like a golden neck.

If you go on the chicken calculator, put in mille fleur coloration, and then chage the "blue" gene tab to splash, it is golden neck. After finding this out I was messing around, to see what cool colors could come out of normal D'uccle colors.

That's not how it works. I have splash girls the are a dirty white with flecks of gray. When bred to a Mille it gave me splash, solid black and dark Mille, I was told I'd get gold necks never happened. Even on the second generation.

You all may enjoy this page...it describes making golden neck (splash mille fleur) from blue mille fleur over blue mille fleur at the very bottom of the page.

I have not bred...only read...but hope you enjoy the link.

I think you could have normal SOLID splash in d'uccles, because one of the combos I ran (cant remember which one) had normal solid blue (not self blue) as the result, which if bred together should produce 25% splash. Splash MILLE FLUER D'uccles I think would be different, because the splash gene would only effect the part that would normally be black (the mille fleur spangles), making the spangles basically white with a bluish tinge (gold neck). Is that all correct?
