genetics ?

Mottling, not molting. Mottles are white spots at the tips of the feathers; molting is when a bird loses old and grows new feathers.

There is not "gold lacing" gene. There is a combination of genes that create the lacing pattern. Whether a bird carries silver or gold will determine the background colour of the feather.

lol, sorry about that i know what molting is i have dislexia and some times get letteres confused and i misspell alot of things.

Silver and gold are different variations (alleles) of the same gene. This is a sex-linked gene, meaning that males have two copies and females have only one. A male can be silver (S/S), gold (s+/s+) or golden (S/s+). A female can only be silver (S/-) or gold.(s+/-).

In my experience, golden males look like a brassy-coloured silver. Not the pure clean white of silver, but nowhere near the colour depth of gold. With any of these, the depth of colour can vary depending on whether the bird also has any enhancers or diluters that act on ground colour.

so would it be posable to breed two silver laced birds and get a gold laced bird of vice versa? It has been along time since i took gentics in college im trying to remeber but i was only basic stuff any.

and what about buff is that a form of the same gene color or is that something diffrent?

Thanks too both of you for takeing time to explanie these things to me.

breeding two silver laced birds(pure lines) can only give you more silver laced birds... if you breed a gold laced rooster over a silver laced hen will give you gold laced hens and golden laced roosters(lemon color instead of gold) if you breed a silver laced rooster over a gold laced hen will give you silver laced hens and golden laced roosters(lemon color instead of gold) the golden wont breed true

Except that even E/E birds need additional melanizers to be completely black.

ok intresting. so dose the hen always only have one color gene or is that only for sex linked colors? ex. (S/-)

I have never seen pure E/E birds with ground leakage... this is not to say they are possible..

thats correct, they can only be Silver(S/-) or Gold(s+/-) the cant be golden genetically(S/s+).....BUT...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thre is always a but, there are other genes like cream or dominant dilute, that when combined with a gold hen(s+/-) will make this gold bird appear golden....

examples..

Silver Hen




Gold hen



Cream(also called Citron in Europe) hen

ok so let see if i have this right the roo was extend black witch covered the gound color withch was gold and the mom is silver laced wich inhibited the extended black so that is why the ground color showed up in the offspring and the two are diffrent tones of golden?

You must have a handy DNA sequencer app
