if you have genetic questions

so many wrong things posted on that paper
I agree, nicalandia,
I emailed the web publisher of the page and copied my post above. They really need to run the whole thing past some experts. What a mess for an Assoc. which touts purebred poultry. Even, novice that I am, know a Golden Duckwing is not the best definition of "Partridge", sigh.
Oh dear.

lol i didn't no haven't really looked up genetics. i have another paper going to post it and see what you think

Extended black.
Turns the male duckwing into a crowwing, Male becomes a rusty black;
hen less rusty black.
E^R

ER

Birchen.
Turns the male duckwing into a crowwing but leaves hackle of male and female and male saddle neatly patterned in gold or silver groundcolor;
Black breast can be laced in gold or silver;
somewhat flattens red tints.
E^Wh

EWh

Wheaten.
Least permissive for black, most permissive for red.
Males wildtype without hackle black.
Females wheaten colored without salmon breast and almost no stippling on back.
e+

Wildtype, bankiva.
Males black(breasted) with gold to silver duckwing (wing triangle), hackle, saddle, shoulders;
females gold or silver with salmon breast, black stippling on back and black tail.

Hi redrooster99,
Much better. Thanks for the reference. krippenjungle is highly thought of.
Best,
Karen
 
I'm so glad some of you genetics folks pointed out errors there--I was thinking I was seeing some but I'm not that educated on genetics and was thinking I was wrong! My first red flag was red and black sex links as examples of autosexing breeds.......really wasn't sure how reliable it was after that!

ok; what is your source? Generally folks list a credit for things they copy; that way there is a context behind what is written, as well as credit to the actual author. For example, Something written by a scientist or historian many years ago does not have knowledge and information that is of more recent origin.


Just goes to show-if you want to impress people be careful what you plagerize
 
i wasnt trying to plagerize i was just trying to show something i found to everyone please dont take this as mine it isnt
