DUN SUMATRAS

[~SunSetsWest~]

Anyone breeding dun Sumatras? Anyone have any info or pics? I think I read that the dun gene acts like blue, does it? I would be very interested in any input..
Thanks!!

Yeah Dun works just like Andalusian Blue. Just a little different shade. I have a pair of birds out of a Khaki Red Phoenix rooster and a Buff Ameraucana hen. They basically look like Ginger Reds, but you can see the Dun in the underfluff.

So dun and dun will make dun and dun splash?
Man that's alot of dun in that sentence...

I think blue to blue gives:
25% splash
50% blue
25% black

Although I am not sure how that relates to Dun other than they are very similar "Incomplete Dominants"

Not sure if that helps any...

All Incomplete Dominants work the same way I think.

The double dun = khaki color is worthwile, unlike splash.
