Genotypes

[CDAT]

I was wondering if anyone could help me with the genotype of a Silver Gray Dorking, Black Mottled Houdans and Black La Fleche?

Maybe this will help:

Do you mean just for plumage colour genes?
For those SG Dorking is e+, S
I can guess that the black mottled houdans could well be E, mo. And the white faced Spanish being E

La Fleche...

Thanks for your help. What would a red dorking be? e+ MH S? Would Red Mottled be E MH mo?

Are you in USA?
I think in USA red dorkings are often simply e+.

I don't think E, Mh, mo would work for red mottled.

I think probably eW/eWh, Co/Co (or Db/Db?), Mh/Mh, I/i+, mo/mo would work or possibly swap Bl/Bl for the I/i.
I think there are various combinations of the black restricting genes with mo which can arrive at what is basically mille fleur with the black stopped.

I am in Canada and I am interested in maybe doing Red Mottled Houdans or Blue mottled Houdans and am just trying to figure out how best to go about it. The blue gene is fairly simple, red seems to be more complicated. I was looking at the red Dorking because type wise they match up with the Houdans better.

The guy who originally created the red mottled Houdans used RIRs and Brown Red Games, probably because that is what was available, but I figured if I could use a red Dorking that would help get the Houdan type back faster while still getting the red.

What does the colour of red Dorkings look like in Canada? In US the colour of the red Dorkings is not like the colour in UK.

I planned to order a couple red Dorkings from Sandhill in Minnesota so assume they will be like the American ones. Although reading the description I am not sure it will be what I want as it says it is like a brown leghorn, which is not the red I was looking for.

The 'red' Dorkings in US have exactly the same plumage colour as brown leghorns i.e. e+ nothing else. Not helpful for red mottled I'd think.
