Looking for photos of chicks down and progressive to maturity photos of the "es" foundation color

Would also love any links or good reads concerning this foundation

Thanks 😊
 
Where have you heard of this color?
Could you provide an example of a variety it is found in? It sounds like something that was renamed, or mispelled.

It's a foundation (like Duckwing, Birchen, partridge, etc) just not very common from what I understand

Also- from what I understand it is known to be in silkies and some Easter eggers
 
The e locus:
E extended black
E^R birchen
e+ duckwing
e^Wh wheaten
e^b partridge

e^y (recessive wheaten) may or may not exist. I don't really believe wheaten to completely dominant or recessive.
The other allele e^bc doesn't actually exist, it was just a confusing expression of e^b that was named before they realized what it was.
