chickencolours.com also has a book on color genetic. Im going to buy it as soon as I get the funds. Looks to be a verry descriptive and informative book with a lot of pictures to see the effects of different genes.

Check out the chicken calculator on that site! It has colums of alleles that you can change and see what happens. You can build a whole virtual flock from just two birds!
